It's rare for crimes like this not to affect all the professionals involved and many suffer greatly in silence.

But crying when presented with the intense suffering of other people is a common human characteristic, and one that shows empathy. Empathy is arguably the most important attribute for a judge to have, has how can you effectively asses how a person should be sentenced if you cannot understand the suffering caused and, simultaneously, how the defendant felt/is feeling. Crying for many people is just a result of emotion, and cannot be controlled. It’s not an intentional thing, it’s just a normal response when hearing and feeling the agony of someone else.

I'm not sure we heard the same *speech. While he did express his sorrow for the family's loss, he made it clear that his heartbreak was rooted in this man's unwillingness to come forward, to show compassion, to admit his wrongdoing and receive his punishment. My take is that this judged is burdened by the prospect of what our society is eroding to. I know that I've wept for our society on many occasions.

Now that’s a great man, shows emotion and does what he has to do!

God bless you Judge! For demonstrating compassion, integrity and professionalism . Thank you and god bless!🙏🏽❤️

Yes Judge, no one is perfect. I did not know her, but my prayers went out to her when it aired.

He's not ashamed of his christianity. He's walks the walk and talks the talk backed by his actions.

I've never seen one of our British judges ever show emotion to this degree. It is heartwarming to see a judge care that much. I hope Tara's family can get some sort of tiny bit of peace. Tara deserved so much more.

This judge gave me the chills while he was speaking. It was almost as if Tara was right there listening to his words and thanking him for giving her the justice her and her family needed. My heart goes out to the family and to the judge.

We need more judges like this man who has a kind heart. He handed down the sentence and love his gentleness

I remember this case I was in high school and we lived about 40 minutes from ocilla everyone looked for her in different areas. No one could find her but I never forgot about her I always wondered what happened to her. It’s sad to me that she was killed I could never understand why great people have to die like this. I am hopeful that now there will be some kind of justice for her.

That's not only a judge. That's a man. We have people with such heart everywhere. We where lucky that such man became a Judge. This is what makes people like Robert Chasteen a legend.

My Heart goes out to that Judge, His is a difficult job and one that has listened to many horrific things that Human Beings do to one another. I'm sure each new one that comes to his Court is worse than the one before. So if this Judge wants to quote the Bible and Shed tears for a Young Woman's Life that ended with such Brutality, then by Goodness He has every right!

He was not the murderer or involved with the murder itself. He was charged with and convicted on 4 counts related to helping the murderer cover up the crime afterwards. That's why the judge made sure to the sentence on each count was consecutive, so he would still stay in prison for a long time.

Many Christian Americans don't understand why religion shouldn't be used to govern any decisions for our country or in a court of law because of how Christianity is so deeply rooted into our history as a country. The major reason why people immigrated to America in the beginning was for religious freedom, yet those who are not Christian seem to have less of a say in what goes on here, especially if religion is brought into play. The purpose of my response is to say I deeply admire you for believing in something other than the norm, while also holding true to the beliefs that make you feel satisfied.
