This whole thing seems like the justice system struggling to punish someone for doing something that wasn't illegal, finding something else to pin him with (and he was guilty of it, sure), then basing sentencing on that other crime, but using this new charge as a smokescreen. This whole thing reeks of corruption, but the kind of corruption where the people abusing their authority think they're the good guys.
- CobrastanJorji 9y agoUsually I withhold accusations like "reeks of corruption" for people who did not definitely commit a serious felony and then antagonize the system about to sentence me. Did the fact that he was universally hated by the whole country make his sentence for his crimes worse? It's entirely possible. Does that mean the judge was corrupt? No, that's not what that word means. What should you learn? If you're ever convicted of a serious crime, apologize profusely, then shut up, and maybe don't offer a bounty of a presidential candidate's hair.
