First 2257 Offender goes to prison...

MadMax · 2005-06-04, 10:44 AM

Personal Opinion: The DOJ is desperate to be able to show congress that they're enforcing 2257, so they chose to prosecute this fuckwit under 2257 instead of a pile of other federal laws they could have prosecuted him for violating. Don't forget that prosecutors have an unbelievable amount of leeway in regards to what charges they actually file. Had they not prosecuted him for violating 2257, he would have been convicted as just another CPer and they wouldn't have gotten nearly as much free press.
