Ten years for One image

The US Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal by a high school teacher from Arizona sentenced to 200 years in jail for possessing child pornography.

...the prosecutor had asked for a 340-year sentence but the trial judge imposed the minimum of 10 years for each of 20 images - to be served consecutively for a total of 200 years without the possibility of probation, early release or pardon.

This news is quite alarming. A 200-year sentence for possessing 20 images of "child porn" is too much more than a reasonable punishment; it's in fact more of a cruelty than of a punishment.

If the court punishes him for 200 years in jail, then why doesn't it also find the posters (or should I call them "models"?) for those images? I highly doubt that they have been threatened to post for the porn pictures.

According to this study, one third of the boys' population could be ending up in jail for their life if they all happen to be in Arizona and be caught. LOL!

Until then...
