But the prosecution should have argued the point of there being a lack of real consequences these days, and without the 'learned lesson' aspect of that punishment, the guilty will not reform. I suppose I am barking out of my butt, but they should have pushed for a stiffer sentence. Face it, there are people who come from a lower socioeconomic background in jail for far less and will be there longer than 2 years. I think this smells, to be honest. But, whatever. Yes, I understand that his wife is dying and he wants to be there for her, but this falls under the heading of 'consequences' (not all consequences are from the legal aspect of our society, after all. Just ask Donna Sue Bissey) and he should have thought of the peripheral damage of his actions before he screwed lots of people out of their ability to survive. Just wait till the real cost of this hits the power consumers in SC, because it will. Oh yes, it will.
