The Day - Problem gamblers a quandary for judges | News from southeastern Connecticut:

"Westbrook - When sentencing problem gamblers convicted of crimes, state judges have much to consider - and few options - speakers at the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling's annual conference said Thursday.
New London Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Clifford, a conference panelist, said the presiding judges who mete out sentences must weigh the need to punish offenders, protect victims and deter future crimes against the need to rehabilitate those with such problems as gambling addictions."
