Unfortunately, while this is still on the light side of the sentencing guidelines, it's well within those outlined for this crime. He was given 15-27 months, with all but four suspended. The guidelines are 20-39 months. As pointed out in a column in the Asheville Citizen-Times today, some other guy in Asheville was just sentenced to a minimum of 175 months for selling LSD. The sentencing guidelines for crimes these days are just way out of whack.
