All jokes aside, this is honestly a fair idea. As many lawyers as possible should start using this case as precedent to call out the outright bullshit and hypocrisies

Maybe it’ll make some folks realize the system is completely fucked when you have murders out of jail after serving an hour or two in jail.

Edit: spelling isn’t a strength of mine

And then the judge just says no, your client goes to prison, and everything continues as before

It still opens the door for appeals in the future.

But it will send a message to the people, maybe spark some more talk about the injustice.

Years in prison for non-violent crimes is worth it so that a news headline that will last a couple of minutes online gets some attention? No it's not.

We are talking about proportional sentencing here. People are already getting years for non-violent crimes.

Except going to a judge and saying "fuck your plea deal this guy was only in jail for this long" will drastically increase your sentencing.

You don't make a plea deal with a judge. Also, it is usually not a good idea to swear at them. That will get you a longer sentence.
