Richard Pinheiro was found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of fabricating evidence in 2018 and received a three-year suspended sentence and two years of supervised probation, according to the Baltimore Sun.

How in the hell is malicious fraud that results in destroying someone’s livelihood, reputation, and freedom with years of a jailtime only a misdemeanor with a suspended sentence and probation. This kind of egregious action is waaaaay more damaging to the public welfare and safety than an individual possessing drugs for personal use, and yet the former gets you a “shame a on you”, and the latter rips you from your family, your job, your life. This is some backwards shit.
