What a shitty judge. We already know making an example out of people doesn't work. Look at what happened to piracy crimes in the United States.
I was just about to say something about how judges should never ever say something like "my prosecutors" until I realized: that guy is not the judge. He's a district attorney (prosecutor). He's generally supposed to advocate for guilt, tougher sentences, etc... Basically the opposite of the defense.
It's up to the judge to decide what's actually reasonable. This is not the judge speaking here.
Oh excellent observation! This post has just been misinformation central for me lol.
