As I undestand this case is about to be overturned in appeal and he will be let go with time served. IMO sometimes our justice system just does not make sense.

Yes, that's a crazy ruling. However, this child was 10-12 years of age during the time this happened and he admitted to it, recanted, then changed his not guilty plea to guilty in June and agreedto this "lesser" 8 year sentence to avoid a trial.
Be assured, this is not a "justice system" issue. This is a sick and twisted situation that nearly destroyed a little girl who was left in the care of her beloved pastor while her mommy worked to raise her in the fear of the Lord.
