I think the maximum punishment of up to $30,000 in damages is a State Jail Felony which is a glorified misdemeanor. It carries a two year maximum sentence. For a first time offender it is routinely sentenced as probation. When Ann Richards was governor in the 90s, the state jail felony was created to help reduce overcrowding in prisons (under federal mandate) so some crimes were reduced from a 3rd degree felony with a maximum of 10 years to a state jail with the 2 year maximum, with the option of being reduced to a misdemeanor. I think the intent was to be able to call some crimes felonies to retain the convicted felon provisions and enhanced punishments if subsequently convicted yet sentencing to just over a misdemeanor. It is likely that “throwing the book” at them will be probation which might include things like community service.

I wish that they could get (if caught) what I think is a just punishment but it isn’t legal in this country. I was thinking of Singapore where you do your time i jail/prisoner but are the caned before being released.

It was mentioned with the news article the LCM/Lumberton thread in hs football. There is no stand alone thread that I have seen.
