Shocking.

"...and replaced with a single count of unlawful communication, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail and a minimum fine of $100, according to court records. Martin will have to pay $128.75 in court fees."

Even more shocking. He can probably pay that on the way out of the courtroom. I bet he won't even see the inside of a cell, unless he is walking by one on the way out.

Toothless response to what he did. Remember, your experience would most certainly be different.

Two-tiered justice system.
