If he overprescribed a necessary medication, that is a professional mistake, not a criminal act with criminal INTENT.
Criminal intent was NEVER PROVEN by the prosecution, yet he's been handed this sentance.
A loss of his medical license would have been a huge punishment to a doctor, even if deservingly inept. In terms of preventing a person damaging society, removing their license satisfies that end. It's not like hes a violent criminal who will hurt people. Remove his ability to harm people by removing his license.
I mean what is legal punishment supposed to do? It's not supposed to be about "exacting vengance". It's not about restitution either. Other cultures have restitution, where a culprit pays restittion to a victims family. How does his jail sentance pay back socity or the victims family?
It does't.
But he doesn't need to be in jail for others to be protected from his future mistakes. The legal system is a joke and needs to be overhauled.
