Why this sentence SHOCK THE CONSCIOUS?

Brian a peaceful entrepreneur?had all non-violent charges and no criminal history. This is a sentence that shocks the conscience. Brian is condemned to a sentence in prison, not for dealing drugs himself but for a conspiracy where others did. This is far harsher than the punishment for many murderers, pedophiles, rapists and other violent people. Brian's investigation, trial and sentencing were rife with abuse. This includes corrupt federal investigators (now in prison) who were hidden from the jury, as well as prosecutorial misconduct, constitutional violations and reliance on unproven allegations at sentencing. Brian did not get a fair trial and his sentence was draconian. Justice was not served. We, the undersigned, seek mercy for BRIAN L ROWE. He told the court that IT was a terrible mistake that he deeply regrets, that he never intended harm, and that he has learned the heavy price of breaking the law. BRIAN'S life history clearly shows he is a compassionate young man with much to contribute. The judge received letters attesting to his excellent character and how much he has helped others. Keeping BRIAN caged for life helps no one; will cost taxpayers about $2 million; and deprives society of an exceptionally kind, generous and creative person. Even in the face of this cruel sentence, Brian clings to the hope of a second chance and dreams of a future where he can be reunited with his loved ones, and use his education, knowledge
