I’ll be the first to admit that I have no idea if the punishment fits the crime. I’m sure republicans are going to claim favoritism or something like that, and that probation is not enough, but I have no idea how stuff like this usually pays out.
The only frame of reference I have is Wesley Snipes who had 3 misdemeanor tax charges instead of two and got prison time, but Snipes’ case was a lot wilder and more money was involved. Snipes didn’t plead guilty though and didn’t have a plea deal, so it seems reasonable enough to only get probation when you did plead guilty.
