This is why you do not get caught in Arizona doing some sorts of criminal activities.

The US Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal by a high school teacher from Arizona sentenced to 200 years in jail for possessing child pornography.
The state has the nation's toughest laws on child abuse and exploitation.
Indeed, the prosecutor had asked for a 340-year sentence but the trial judge imposed the minimum of 10 years for each of 20 images - to be served consecutively for a total of 200 years without the possibility of probation, early release or pardon.
It is to bad that someone with child images can get 200 years in prison but a pedophile can go out and actually hurt the children and still walk the streets in short time if they get any time at all.
Now if Arizona would just line all of the sentences up like this one for the rapist's and the murderer's, the streets would clear up in no time!
