Comparing the two cases is irrevelant. The one inmate had already served 12 years. And she certainly did not comment on his case. The sheriff had flagrantly degied a federal court ruling. His pompous posturizing defiled the justice system for decades.  Prisoners died under his watch, and he laughed. He hasnt even been sentenced, and there is talk of pardoning him before the fact. Her opinion is just and pertinant.
