Pot-sale case puts focus on mandatory sentences
The Weldon Angelos case is now being appealed in the Circuit Courts. In what was disturbing news several months ago, Angelos received 55 years (an effective life sentence) under mandatory minimum sentencing laws for gun possession. The appeal claims that mandatory minimum sentencing laws are unconstitutional because they are a form of "cruel and unusual punishment". The defence will be supported by 29 amicus curiae.
