In all fairness, no one was hurt. Yes, he seemed willing to throw innocent people under the bus to sell his story, but he ultimately didn’t. That said, he led a campaign that betrayed the trust of the public. His crimes were against society and that’s why we all (well, most of us) feel so strongly about this and want him held accountable.

his hoax wasn't a violent crime, I wouldn't want him to get life in prison, but out of all 16 charges, wasting cops time, sending white powder thru the mail, he should get like 20 years. You can't let every non violent criminal go free or else where is the deterrent for others not to commit crimes.

I think he should have to work (not pay) for every man hour of time he wasted, plus.

I'm not saying the system should ignore his crimes. I was just trying to get into the mindset of the state attorney who dropped the charges.

Personally, I'd like to see him do some jail time for wasting everybody's time and money and generally being a gigantic douchebag.
