Did the police botch procedure or his rights in some way which lead to this plea? Not much info provided by either link. Doesn't make any sense really.
So wait, you as someone who likes the weed, would rather he be in jail for 15 years so its fair? Fair as compared to what? The absolute bullshit laws that are in effect today? Cmon man. How bout instead, we celebrate that someone in power, namely a judge, also realizes how moronic it is to send someone to jail for life for freaking pot. Its a damn good sign to see something like this. I appaud the judge.
