Just look up what the intended meaning is, there must be drafts and revisions and discussions from the time the law was created, right?

If YOU were a judge/jury, would you really want to stake years of someone's life over what ended up being a typo by an overworked intern? (Also, I think this could be a good argument against mandatory minimums, just out of principle)
