(MCT) — CHICAGO — In a rare move Friday, a Cook County, Ill., judge reversed himself, reducing to a misdemeanor a man's felony conviction for posting on Facebook a photo of his young daughter bound and gagged with tape.

The move by Judge Lawrence Flood came two months after he convicted Andre Curry of aggravated domestic battery and aggravated battery, both felonies, and was scheduled to sentence him to a potential prison term. Instead the judge sentenced Curry to 18 months of probation and ordered him to take parenting classes.
