The US legal system is horrible. People who THREATEN stuff can get more than people who DO stuff - especially now with the "terroristic threat" angle. Seriously? Those laws give prosecutors carte blanche to pad their portfolio....
"See how awesome I am... I put this guy who threatened his ex-girlfriend while he was drunk away for 40 years...."
"Oh... that murderer who got 6 months.... well... that was a plea bargain... and um.... did I mention the guy I put away for 40 years who threatened his girlfriend?"
I read an article that showed how in many cases, people who have child porn often get harsher sentences than people who actually molest a child.
This legal system needs a massive overhaul.
