A federal judge in Utah blasted federal sentencing laws as "unjust, cruel, and irrational." He was forced to sentence a record producer to 55 years and 1 day in prison in a minor drug case. The guidelines allowed the judge to sentece Weldon Angelos one day in jail for selling marijuana -- but there was a minimum 55 year sentence for possessing a handgun.
That means Angelos will serve longer than rapists, murderers, and even airline hijackers. (CNN)
