    Honestly it’s not so much the sentence itself but the lifetime of “Well, I could hire this guy and throw him a bone, or go with my 80 other non convict applicants.”

        I mean, other than places that deliberately hire ex cons, it mostly is. You ever job hunt post prison?

          I meant the “well, having it on his record is the main thing, ignore how brief the sentence was” idea. That’s not applied across all cases, and this traitor shit is getting preferential treatment from a likeminded judge.

        Most businesses will immediately disqualify anyone that has a criminal history, no matter what it was for, how long ago, or how severe. They just see it as a liability, even when it isn’t. They’ll have plenty of other applicants to pick from with no criminal history.

          I’m aware. The idea that this means that this guy’s lenient sentence is sufficient only seems to work for traitor shit like this guy, and not, say, non-violent drug offenses that routinely get the amount indicated by sentencing guidelines.
