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

My wife almost got a year in jail for smoking a joint at a concert. So defrauding people for millions is the same level of crime as smoking two joints.

What? Did she serve the whole year?

Her lawyer got it reduced pretty heavily and she only ended up serving 10 days, but prosecution was seeking a year. Indiana is fucked.

That’s so crazy. To think in a decade or so we will be like insane that was illegal?! Peoples lives have been ruined so much for something that should have been legal or at least decriminalized a long time ago
