Yeah...and its all for the same act.

We all know about over-charging in America. Its a bargaining chip for the State.

You push someone over in a chair and you got charged with 5 crimes.

That's America for you. Every act of every crime is in itself a crime.

There were two other participants in these incidents and they received respective sentences of 2 and 4 years.

This judge is off his rocker. Citing the Dylan Roof case is further proof of it. These are people who made a very bad decision, but no one was physically harmed. Now multiple children will be spending their formative years without one or more parents. I'm sure they'll be perfectly normal.

In a situation like this, give them a little time in jail, hang a bunch of time over their heads if they can't successfully complete a stiff probation and be productive citizens. This judge has done more harm than good in trying to look tough on crime and appease the black community. I wonder if he's seeking further political office.

Okay, but I think the sentences are a little harsh. No one was physically harmed.
