The judge who sentenced them this way has one of the highest rate of overturning in the country and has long been used in order to rule on stuff that’s not even his jurisdiction because he always rules with the Republican interests. Turns out when judges are the ones who are supposed to say, “no jurisdiction” they could theoretically just not say that… It will be overturned for a different sentence, but there’s something to be said that judges with purely ideological leanings getting consistently admonished from higher courts for dogshit opinions probably shouldn’t be allowed to remain being judges without consequences.
