Surprised at Sentence
November 19, 2020
To the Editor,
While reading the article on Monticello felon received forty two months for possessing ammunition, I was struck at how unlikely that seemed. In my days as a serial carouser, canvassing every dark den about town, I got to know every felon for ten miles. Every one of them had at least one weapon.
When I noticed it was a federal court and a federal prosecutor, that explained everything.
