The article raises only one question in my mind: Did the prosecutor agree to a deal whereby the defendant would not be incarcerated for more than 90 days? If so, the prosecutor is also deserving of criticism.

From the article:

After a sound bite of Deputy States Attorney Nicole Andreson advocating an 8- to 20-year sentence for Hulett because “punishment is a valid purpose,”

Yes, I know but the article says the defendant pled guilty as part of a deal by which he would not be sentenced to more than 90 days in prison. The deal usually would be with the prosecutor.
