The case of Gall vs. Unites States ties to amendment 5. Gall was convicted for selling “Ecstasy” while attending college. After three years he admitted himself guilty. A jury recommended a sentence of 30 to 37 moths in prison, but the district court sentence him to 36 months in probation. Later they found that it was unnecessary to put him in jail because he had stop using drugs and would not go back to his criminal behavior. So they decided to give him 36 months in probation. Adolfo V. is for the decision that the court made. I think that this decision was fair, because he said the he would not go back to his criminal behavior. If he continues abusing drugs then they should take him to jail. If they take him to jail and give him hard time then that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.Anthony L. is against; I think that when there is enough evidence to prove this issue, which means that the Gall should be crime put on trial for that crime. The government can not take away someone’s life, freedom, or property without following a series of steps that give them a fair chance. So I think that he should go to jail and serve the time he deserves.
