The man's heinous crime? Abetting a friend's purchase of marijuana. For this, Mizanskey was sentenced to life without parole -- more than 20 years ago. Because Mizanskey had been caught with pot before, prosecutors designated him a "prior and persistent offender," and sought the most draconian penalty possible. For not doing anything to anybody. Repeated appeals of his sentence have availed him naught. <http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/JeffMizanskeyEnough.png> His son Chris and his attorney Tony Nenninger have been asking Missouri Governor Jay Nixon for clemency.
