Not ridiculous at all. He has been sentenced to jail, not to be infected with Covid. Whether in jail he has a higher risk of getting is a very legit defense strategy. Covid can be a life-or-death virus. Nothing is harmed by having him report to jail next year for example.

If you believe this argument, it should apply to everyone going through the criminal justice system and not just this case.

Does that seem like a question that should be contemplated in this case?

It is being applied, in fact many non-violent offenders are getting out.
