Via TalkLeft, this excellent news:
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer sentenced convicted marijuana grower Ed Rosenthal to one day in federal prison with credit for time served, essentially setting him free.
Rosenthal was convicted in January of three marijuana cultivation and conspiracy charges. He faced more than 80 years in federal prison and $2.5 million in fines. The Federal Probation Department had recommended that Rosenthal be sentenced to two 21-month sentences to be served concurrently.
With so many lousy things going on, and so many people lying, swindling and generally being nuisances, it is nice to have something to smile about every now and then. This is one of them. Go have a long, happy life, Ed.
