I also believe that a person having a criminal record that follows them for the rest of their life is cruel and unusual. I also think removing a persons voting rights is cruel and unusual. So, I’d have a hard time finding anyone guilty.

I still think you should not carry around a criminal record and I do not think extremely long prison sentences should be allowed. Let’s do 5 years max.
