Reading the Cleveland Plain Dealer Wednesday I was struck by a pair of stories. One had to do with a disparity in sentencing between crack and powder form cocaine. You see crack is seen as more dangerous and holds a mandatory 5 year sentence. Our fearless leader President Obama wants to discontinue this practice of differentiating between crack and blow.
The second story was about a brave young woman 40 year old Connie Culp. You might ask who is Connie Culp she is the first face transplant recipient in the U.S.. Severely disfigured struggling to breathe, taste, and smell going through more than twenty surgeries she went public and asked people to think before they poke fun of somebody for their looks.
The question I'm sure your asking is what do these two stories have to do with one another. You see the real sentencing oddity was in this story Connie's husband who shot her in the face and caused all her miseries was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Yep five years for crack and seven years for ruining someones life makes sense to me.
