Reply to comment by LeeOblivious in Derges, former state rep from Nixa, sentenced to 6 years, 3 months in prison by pssssn

75 months a light sentence? Drunk drivers who kill people get less than that. I'm sure her party affiliation made all the difference. Not.

Drunk Drivers fall under state law which has different sentencing guidelines, this was a federal case. Her guidelines as a first time offender was a minimum of 87 months to 105 max for the crimes she is guilty of. For fraud cases a large part of the guidelines comes from the amount stolen. The more you steal the longer time you are supposed to do.

I'm well aware that drunk drivers fall under state law and they have different sentencing guidelines. I was merely pointing out that this is not really a light sentence as you claim. And it really just wanted to get down. Voted a lot because that seems to be the norm for the Springfield subscribers.
