To me this falls under the criminal sub-category of “Do stupid things, win stupid prizes”; when you’re running a hydroponic marijuana growing operation of more than 1,000 plants, you shouldn’t expect much good to come of it.
Life is full of unfairness and bad luck the way it is, no need to go out of your way to court it.
Six years in the clink for a pot charge?
If he was doing it, yeah he was stupid, but charge him, try him and sentence him,
SIX YEARS with NO TRIAL is just as egregious as what he did.
