Schenectady man highly over sentenced for a crime...must read

Lawrence ahrens was sentenced to 15 years for arson in the 2nd. He did not commit the crime but was considered the master mind. He had no criminal record before this, a home, a job, a family. The three who committed the crime had records, one in particular has a extensive record and will be walking the streets again before Lawrence. Nobody was hurt in this case and there were no fires. Although punishment does need to take place, 15 years was very excessive for Lawrence. The victim also had family ties to assembly men angelo santabarbra and a atf agent on the case. Lawrence had no fighting chance and was backed into a corner for many things. His lawyer even stated if it was someone without those connections he'd have way less time. Lawrence was out on bail living a law abiding life and would of benefited better from many other things. A week after Lawrence was sentenced a girl went in front of the same judge for stabbing and killing her boyfriend and got the same amount, 15 years. What is wrong with this? He was highly over prosecuted and it needs to be egknowledged. I don't condone violence but I believe in fairness. He is getting a sentence murderers get when again nobody was hurt or injured, he physically did not commit the crime and he had no record. He was highly over sentenced without a fighting chance because of all these connections. His sentenced needs to be reduced when you see murders getting that sentence and for many other reasons. Sometimes good people make bad choices. The judge even told him he is a smart man and shouldn't be where he is....but 15 yrs is too much. He would of benefitted many other ways and with a reasonable sentence.
