He does want to make an example out of him. He wants him to get the mandatory minimum or 3 1/2 years which most agree is ridiculous, and most people don't get it including Plax, as seen here, so it's a moot point. Most people get more than 3 months on reduced charges. Quote: |
The most common way to avoid the three-and-half years mandatory minimum sentence is to get the charge lowered to a third-degree possession. But last year, in New York City, nearly 80 percent of the people convicted of a third-degree charge still ended up behind bars, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Of those people, 41 percent ended up serving more than one year in jail; 24 percent ended up serving one year in jail; 6 percent less than one year in jail, and 6 percent had a mixture of jail and probation 24 percent only had probation.
