He belongs in prison for a long time, but not for what he's currently being prosecuted for. It sets a terrible precedent, and I'm sure that, given his personality, he'll be prosecutable for something again soon enough.

If memory serves, he was actually busted for drug possession not long after the gawker article went up, but he's not actually being prosecuted for that is he?
