Mandatory minimums should be removed entirely, as no law can cover all circumstances. There will always be cases where the mandatory minimum is unjust.
It would be terrible if photogenic, attractive and likeable people went to jail for the same amount of time as an ugly asshole who isn't part of our tribe. If that happened, we'd have a relatable human face going to jail.
I hope someone can come up with a rational argument against what blfr said. The fact that you have little more than emotional condemnation suggests he might have a good point.
How about that it is the opposite of what we consider fair and equal justice? Justice should be blind to how attractive and wealthy you are. Jailing a rich millionaire is a greater loss of utility then a homeless man. If you think that is an argument for playing favourites then you do not grasp the concept of justice.
