Mosby was convicted of lying on the paperwork she submitted to take an early withdrawal of her own retirement funds during the pandemic (when there were special considerations for this kind of withdrawal.) She didn't steal anything from anyone. So yes... the two sentences were completely different because the two crimes were completely different.

It’s a burden on the system, it institutionalizes people, it turns people into violent criminals, and most importantly it’s not effective in rehabilitating them. The purpose of the legal system should be rehabilitation, not simply incarceration. Incarceration should only be reserved for those who pose an immediate physical threat to their community. All other crimes should be treated in ways which encourage the guilty party to learn and change their behavior.

how can you have any justice while it is blind? That's the joke... here... everyone wanting a "blind justice system" and getting upset when it misses a lot. To have justice... it must not be blind at all. It must be aware of all things... which is impossible for us... but not impossible for God. This is why judgement must be with Faith, Mercy, and Justice... missing any of those 3 and your judgement is wrong. And since this nation hates God with a passion... there is not faith in judgements... since this nation loves corruption, there is no justice... and this this judge wanted to make an example out of this woman... there is no mercy. If this judge does not repent... God is going to say the same thing to them... "I must make an example out of you". God WILL judge you the exact same as you judge others. There is a reason most people are not going to be saved and only a "few" will be.

Not much of an deterrent to stealing large amounts of money...I'm guessing she'd be back at it at another company in no time at all.
