So how much time did the capital rioters get? NOT ONE OF THEM SHOULD HAVE GOT LESS TIME THAN THIS MAN!
I understand what you are trying to say but you need to understand he rejected the plea deal which I believe was paying a fine and paying restitution of $125,000 to the city (no jail time). He wanted to go to court, he WANTED a jury trial.
He had enough time to say he was sorry, admit it was a fraught but he just kept saying he was a victim of a hate crime until the very end.
Even the judge was like Stop it with your lies.
