Jeremy Stone and Sister in jail

[KMG]

still, i think the punishment is over the top, 5 years in prison is extreme. if i would be the judge and wanted to make an example and choose a stiff punishment, i would force the guy to auction off the reptile collection and take the money, use it to pay off legal costs and stuff and have the rest donated for environmental protection. then, probation for some years, and no reptile keeping during that time. but 5 years in prison can really destroy a persons life. and there seem to be 3 charges, one would bring 5 years, the second up to 20 years, and the third one 5 years.

So you think he should face a more harsh punishment then many drug dealers and drug smugglers get? Why? Because he tried to use an animal to reproduce its kind. Its not like he smuggled in panda meat for burgers.

Those punishments listed are the max allowed for that crime. It is not guaranteed, and not the norm to get the max.
