Original Note:
It's not right to say he was given a life sentence for a bag of weed. He has a life sentence because of previous convictions, including home burglary and unlawful possession of a firearm. There is still a clear disparity between the two sentences even with the full context. https://nypost.com/2021/05/13/court-upholds-life-sentence-for-man-convicted-of-marijuana-possession/
