DOES THIS SENTENCE REALLY FIT THE CRIME?
I was struck (once again) by the prison sentence that Malcolm Sidbury
could receive for selling $20 worth of crack on Lark Street in Albany
("Man guilty of selling crack,'' Times Union, Feb. 22).
New York state is willing to throw this man in prison for 8 1/2 to 25
years, at taxpayers' expense? Surely Malcolm must've killed somebody,
right?
