This was your response to the question "In your opinion here, does the punishment fit the crime?"
"The punishment is correct." Really?
This lady was originally sentenced to 12 years as a first time offender. She got another 2 years added for ultra-stupidity and then later a judge knocked off 4 years.
This article from the same neck of the woods about a crime committed just 6 months prior.
To summarize, a twice previous DUI offender killed 2 people on her third offense. She was sentenced to 12 years for each count of manslaughter (consecutive). Since that is the punishment handed down then it must also be correct.
So according to the sentencing guidelines in Oklahoma, getting caught selling marijuana the first time is the equivalent of getting intoxicated and killing 1 person on a third DUI offense.
Yes, as it stands selling marijuana is illegal and if caught the offender must deal with the consequences. However, do you really believe that 12 years in this case is appropriate for the crime?
If it was your (and yours alone) responsibility to set sentences for all crimes, are you saying you would assign 12 years to this? If so, then what would you set for the manslaughter case referenced above?
Well said Spliff, its so fucking obvious..... sheeple will never get it! Wally this means u
