@ Mike.
The sentencing in the Idaho case you linked should come as no surprise, because that is the norm. Female SO’s sentences are almost always much less than their male counterparts, and on par with the sentences (if any) of law enforcement gone bad, when they’re caught. The judge in this case seems to be an idiot, differentiating between male/female and forgetting the seriousness of the crime. Had a male committed the acts he would have gotten that mandatory minimum, probably 20+ years.
