Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the gun related charges have caused two issues to happen here:
1) The minimum sentence was exceptionally harsh.
2) Because of the guns, it makes it somewhat of a political hot potato since it looks like he "could" be violent.
- protomyth 11y agoAny law that mention guns that simply counts their alleged presence is bogus. I can see if it was used in commission of a crime but not "he might of had one in the car". If you judge owning a gun = violent the you are part of the problem that sentences people like this to unjustified sentences (edit: I do not assume that is the parent poster's opinion).
- bluejekyll 11y agoYou're right. My only point was that in this case the guns are a double whammy, they both caused the ridiculously harsh sentence and then also probably the political reason he's not getting the sentence commuted.
