Grant Clemency to Weldon Angelos whose sentencing judge states the sentence is "unjust, cruel and irrational."

In 2004 Weldon Angelos was given a minimum mandatory sentence of 55 years in federal prison for two controlled buys of $350 worth of Marijuana while in possession of a firearm. The arresting agency had come out and stated that the firearm was never brandished or displayed during the transactions. Judge Paul Cassell, who presided over the case and handed down the sentence, stated during sentencing that the statute set forth by Congress was a "Draconian prison sentence," Cassell also stated that the sentence was "unjust, cruel and irrational." Nine of the 12 jurors agreed that a more fitting sentence would have been 18 years, which Cassell had petitioned Pres. Bush to amend the sentence to. In 2013 a letter signed by 120 judges, politicians, authors and scholars made the same request.
