You can’t punish a third degree felony with a first degree felony sentence. It is what it is, no matter how malicious.

I don't believe you're correct...what about "three strikes" laws that result in habitual offenders getting 25 to life for shoplifting?

I could be wrong. I’m not opposed to the sentence. I just looked at the legality of the sentence. If its legal, then what can I say?
