The GOP congress put mandatory sentencing in place.
I’m not blaming the court. I spoke of the assets of the “prosecutor.”
And I wasn’t making a prediction of what will or even could happen, but rather what ought to happen, if there were any justice in the world.
“It’s not the court.
The GOP congress put mandatory sentencing in place.”
Oh, Ben, there you go again. NO other LEO has been charged with the statute Sutton charged these agents under. Not even by him! It was BS from the start to use it. Even the authors of the “carrying a gun in the commission of a crime” legislation said over and over it was NEVER intended to be used this way. They got stiffer sentences than a guy convicted of terrorism the other day. The appeal judges obviously didn’t agree with this sentence.
This time, it is the courts. Its the allowance and disallowance of 'evidence' (using the term loosely) that twisted this case. It was pure politics, and no jurisprudence.
