  1. That’s actually a common occurrence in our “justice” system. When I was a cop (retired almost 20 years now), I used to joke that the prosecutor’s office had 2 rubber stamps. The felony office had “Reduced to Misdemeanor”, and the misdemeanor office had “Nolle Prosse” (charges dropped). It has been that way a long time, but it sure seems that Dems and their base get those deals very often. Just ask the J6 political prisoners.

  2. Our justice system is so f-‘d up.
    The purpose of penalties is to deter future crimes.
    Feeling bad for someone now and being lenient just encourages future violators.
    Look at the $950 threshold for shoplifting in CA and see what that got them.
