Joseph Stahura avoids jail for all the campaign funds he used for gambling.

He was tracked down through ATM withdrawals and reportedly made around 50 trips to casinos from March 2014 to October 2019. Those ATM withdrawals showed around $55,000 spent during that time.

I mean, if you visited and made trips for like 50 times to a casino, doesn't that imply that you are addicted to gambling? I mean, if you are gambling in a one-time basis, you could have left as soon as you won. But the fact remains that he visited 50 times implies that the Mayor is indeed, addicted to gambling.

He could have faced as many as 23 years behind bars if given the maximum sentence for the crimes; however, the judge, James T. Moody, determined that Stahura’s lawyers made a good case for leniency when they argued that their client’s crimes were not that serious. Kerry Connor, an attorney representing Stahura, asserted, “Stahura’s conduct was wrong and illegal, but it didn’t impact his role as mayor, and I think that’s an important distinction Mr. Stahura’s conduct was significantly different than these other politicians.”

If the Mayor done something that is illegal, that should constitute that he is an intent of defrauding others. Even if they argue that the crimes done were not serious, the fact remains that what he had done is illegal and is against the law. What are the laws for if they are not executed properly? He got-off pretty easily but I do think that there should be an investigation as this seriously smells like a grave abuse of discretion done by the Judge.

Not only that public servants are in a position of trust that has been give to them by the public, if this was an example of a person stealing from a private business it will be bad enough, but this person stole and abused his position given by the people, instead of a lighter sentence he should have been given a harder one, after all what it is going to stop the next Mayor of doing something like this when he knows the sentence is going to be incredibly light?

Reality and this is why these people who are on the top would really be that confident on committing decisions or violations like this because they do know that they would able to get away from it too lightly
just because they have someone who can neither protect nor lessen out those sentences or consequences which is in fact the sad reality of this world.To those who had power and influence would really be treated
well or able to escape it out without any problems.Any form of stealing neither those are personal funds or into publics then thats always considered as illegal.It is just they are really abusing off their
power and influence. Is there something we can? This do really matters on what kind of government  you do had and what kind of leaders you do had in position.
