This Guy Needs a New Attorney, and the Judge Needs to Grow Some Cojones

"A judge who condemned federal sentencing laws as “unjust, cruel and irrational” said Tuesday he had little choice but to sentence a first-time drug offender to 55 years and one day in prison.

U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell gave record producer Weldon Angelos the minimum 55 years for carrying a gun and one day for dealing marijuana and money laundering.

Cassell said Angelos will serve more time than rapists, murderers or airline hijackers."

Afraid to set a precedent, Judge Cassell?

And if Weldon Angelos was convicted based on this evidence regarding the gun,

"Before trial, Angelos was offered a plea bargain with a 16-year sentence, but he strongly denied carrying a gun outside his home during three alleged drug transactions. That testimony came from an informant “of some disreputable background,” said Mooney."

he should send Mooney (his so called attorney) packing.
