Another Case of "Poor White Kid" Privilege in Sentencing?

YOUNGSTOWN — [Some Asshole] could get about 20 years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to “swatting” law enforcement agencies in communities from six states from 2016 to 2018 — but prosecutors are recommending he get none.

Instead, Mahoning County prosecutors are recommending that Judge John Durkin of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court sentence [the Asshole] on Jan. 31 to one year of incarceration, five years of probation and restitution of $12,972 to the communities victimized. The sentencing is at 8:30 a.m.

Prosecutors are recommending that [the Asshole] get credit for the nearly 10 months he has already been locked up in the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center since Feb. 28, 2019.

Mike Yacovone, county assistant prosecutor, said it means [the Asshole] would go free Feb. 28 if the judge agrees with the recommendation.
I most certainly do not agree with this. Swatting is a very serious crime; it's sending out a bunch of cops with drawn guns against innocent people. It is assault with deadly weapons by proxy. If this asshole had pointed a gun at six different people, there's no way that he'd get a slap on the wrist. But because he's some lazy-ass fat fuck behind a computer in his mother's basement, he gets a slap on the wrist.
