Sessions Tells Prosecutors To Seek 'Most Serious' Charges for low level drug crimes

[Brian37]

When are we going to get a mandatory minimum for sexual assault?

Or lying under oath?

I don't think mandatory minimums are a good thing, even with sexual assault, because many times some of those cases can simply be word of mouth with no physical DNA evidence. I am all for putting dangerous and violent people in prison, but the right people, not convictions solely based on the nature of the charge, but strictly on EVIDENCE.

It is easy to play armchair quarterback based on what you see in the news. The problem with our justice system is that it is a MYTH that only the guilty go to prison. Our system hurts the poor the most because we don't hire enough public defenders who need the time to defend properly. Innocent people will plea just to reduce time. 

This isn't just about crime, there really is an economic war conducted by the uber rich on the middle class and working poor. If you can accept Sessions as being a fucking asshole on minor non violent drug offenses then you cannot and should not assume the guilt of anyone no matter what the charge is.
