Sorry but I just dont have any sympathy for this. Maybe dont go to federal prison next time and you wont miss out on your friend dying. This one is ultimately on you.

It’s the way we treat those we like the least that defines our character, IMHO.

The justice system has many flaws including incompetence and corruption, they don't always get it right.

Assuming the parent poster's guilt is fair, but god help you if the system ever gets turned against you.

Maybe read Humankind by Rutger Bregman? There are either ways than the super harsh, sometimes commercial US prison system. There are also “crimes” that really shouldn’t be crimes.
