I would expect Tamine to get a sentence in line with the other two. I don’t really have any sympathy for any of the 3. There are consequences to one’s actions and they now must pay those consequences.
I get that some peoples ruin there life with drugs but quite honestly, they do often of there own free will. Lots of peoples ruin there life with alcool too, or ruin the ones of others by drinking and driving.
. ..The manufacturing process in countries such as Colombia and Peru had huge social consequences. In Colombia especially, drugs lords have blackmailed for decades poor farmers to produce coca-leave or else they would be killed. Cocaine has also help finance terror groups to commit crimes against humanities including kidnappings, tortures, rapes, etc.
These girls and Tamine deserve to serve their sentence in totality.
I agree with the Captain. It may seem a bit callous, but in the U.S. we have a huge opioid epidemic. I say to all those people who want to kill themselves on these pills - go ahead, you voluntarily took these pills. So go ahead and get on with it. Just don't bitch about it and moan about not knowing they were addictive.
... they lose their jobs due to addiction issues and become wards of the State...Some resorted to criminal activity after losing their jobs to support the addiction...
...They then get supported by taxpayers...You are paying for the costs and don’t even know it.
The "criminal activity" to which you refer is a direct result of the prohibition of drugs. .
Eager, you sound more like a fervently prohibitionist prosecutor than a defense attorney. Remind me not to hire you if I'm ever charged with a crime where you're licensed to practice.

...There still is a huge traffic surrounding illegal tobacco also, both in the US and Canada (regular price of a carton is $100-$140 black market $20-$40) just watched a documentary on it and there are millions of dollars involved and some of the same people are involved in it as hard drugs. Some Provinces, apparently 20%-30% of cigarettes are purchased on the black market.
. ...What I am against is scumbag criminals who feed upon other people and think of only themselves, right now it was drug trafficking, which is the lifeblood and financial support for most criminal activity...
