Reply to comment by crispydukes in Police: Man, 25, charged in connection with string of robberies at off-campus Temple residences by Franklinia_Alatamaha

This is not correct. They are almost exactly equal on the offense gravity score grading (and he was convicted of the higher Felony 1 Aggravated Assault): https://pcs.la.psu.edu/guidelines-statutes/sentencing/7th-edition-sentencing-guidelines/

Also, the arson charge alone for a first time offender called for a /minimum/ of a 2 to 4 year to 3 to 6 year state sentence. Instead of 22 to 36 months at the absolute minimum upstate, he got three months. And he was immediately paroled. And the DAO negotiated that sentence.

Dude literally got 10% the sentence he should have gotten.

Not only that, but with a rap sheet like this, he’s not getting hired anywhere, so we end up with a desperate violent criminal back on the streets. This leniency only increases the odds of his crimes escalating.
