The Orange County Board of Supervisors is formally calling for 
to resign after his disputed decision to sentence a child rapist to well below the mandatory minimum.
The Orange County Register reports that the Board voted 5-0 Tuesday to endorse a harsh rebuke of the April 3 sentencing.
At the sentencing Kelly gave Kevin Rojano-Nieto 10 years instead of 25 years to life, ruling the mandatory sentence was unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment. Kelly said a court-ordered examination concluded Rojano-Nieto wasn’t a sexual predator and acted on impulse when he attacked a relative.
The decision has outraged victims’ rights groups and sparked recall demands. The Board has no power to remove judges as Kelly is an elected official.
