    Yup! It’s a decent enough system that sets ranges and expectations for pretty much all levels of criminal activity. Because these expectations exist, prosecutors can more easily set a target. It has been something of a shame that the bigger, scary words aren’t being used. Instead we’re getting smaller sentencing. While still justice, and with some harsher sentences handed out for a few people, questions are still hanging in the air. Many of them people who don’t understand how so many people appear to be getting off lightly.

    Assuming things progress according to plan, these last few years will be a fantastic documentary or history chapter. Hopefully. The other directly opposite possibility holds a lot of uncertainty as well.
