Original Note:
While true, this lacks important context: the arson sentence was tripled, per Iowa law, due to Adolfo Martinez being a “habitual offender” with two previous felonies. The judge gave a maximum sentence in part because Martinez said he “would continue to do this, no matter what.” https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/iowa-man-16-years-lgbt-flag/
