What exactly did she lobby for?

"Light/lenient" sentences

I see her in that piece making objections to 30-40 year sentences for 20 year olds. But what sentence did she advocate for?

Don't know.....it doesn't say, but purely hazzarding a guess I'd say 10 or 20 years


Edit: The ones who cooperated got light sentences-4/5 years

The defense did lobby for 15 year sentences for those the prosecution wanted 40 for so my guess was correct

15 years, along with some serious rehab, for some young moron trying to get to Syria to fight for ISIS?

It's not a ridiculous proposition, in my opinion.

If they'd actually hurt or tried to hurt someone, then that's a different story obviously.

Actually I'd be more in favor of a life sentence myself

Don't know. Haven't been following him too closely. Don't give a f**k about him to be honest. The shutdown debacle was of much more concern to me when it comes to the conduct of Trump and his circle.

I wonder what kind of sentence you're going to want for Trump when his time comes.
