| It was not 24 years for a truck full of weed. It was 24 years for being connected to the mafia and not giving up information. |

Well, I don't know.
When you think about how rapists get off on a 8-year sentence, life without parole for having a truck full of marijuana IS a very harsh sentence. |

I think they did it to make a point. You then have to ask whether the person they were making the point to is still alive to undertsand it.
We watch the movie "the count of monte christo" and we know about the "man in the iron mask", so whats the difference?
I say let him go. Its not as if a person who has developed, is as much a danger as a current criminal and it seems he has changed.
Its hypocritical to impound him for the time he has done and let worse people off or is he a mass murderer and they can't get him for it? |

I wonder, what was the longest sentence handed out to a bootlegger back in the Prohibition days?
Did they get an amnesty after they repealed the alcohol ban?
One other question to you commonwealth types: was booze ever illegal in the antipodes, or in the UK? It wasn't, was it? |

The man received life in prison without possibility of parole for possession of a truck full of weed. Refusing to talk about his family relations, whether they be Mafia or not, wasn't the charge.
Life in prison without parole is a psycho amount of time for a nonviolent offender. Drug war politics at their best. Bleh. |
