    Rest assured, I think he’s been punished quite severely.

    Not that I disagree with what you wrote, but tell this to those people sitting in prison for a bag of weed or other bullshit charges.

      The fact that they were unjustly imprisoned isn’t a good reason to waste taxpayer money throwing this guy in prison.

      Why do you think another injustice is justified by the injustice they suffered?

      You ARE saying it’s bad that there are non-violent drug offenders in prison, right?
