Perspective
Just to put this in perspective, the presumptive sentence in Minnesota for Crim Sex One (first degree criminal sexual conduct; forcible, penetrative rape) is 86 MONTHS. That comes nowhere near 55 years.
Yep. The guy who sells you drugs with a gun in the room will go to jail for longer than the guy who rapes you with a gun to your head. Because according to the US Attorney, it's the "purveyor of poison" for whom posessing a gun indicates intent to kill.
(The link requires registration or bugmenot. But do read it, as it gives many more examples of disproportionate sentencing.)
