By the way, my answer applies to all judges. I'm sure this Judge Sullivan is important to a case you are following, but I don't know who he or she is.
Needless to say, and I assume you agree, if leniency is applied in one case, it should be applied in similar cases. And, prosecutorial discretion should not mean prosecute R's, but don't prosecute D's. If our justice system is not perceived as fair, above all other things, then that is a recipe for disaster for the Republic.
