You missed my point Ali, I'm saying that if one judge in county A can impose a completely different type of punishment then a judge in county B, then our legal system fails to administer fair punishment. This particular case still boils down to people trying to make individual exceptions from the law. If the people down there decided that his crime warrants 10 years of jail time then that's what they did, doesn't matter if you agree with them. We live in a democracy for the most part, you think I don't have my own frustrations about stupid laws that must be enforced because our citizens are too stupid to act on their own? I have plenty, but I have to bend to the will of the majority, just as this young man will.
