3. Extremely violent criminals often serve less time than the minimum sentence in this case

My life was severely impacted by a sick asshole who was sentenced to five years for breaking the ribs and legs of a six week old baby and shaking him to cause permanent brain damage. The baby barely survived and will face permanent challenges.

The sick asshole who did that got a sentence half the length of the MINIMUM for selling a plant. I can't even begin to tell you how much that pisses me off, our country needs to get our priorities straight.
