The message you're sending is that, if you're young, intelligent, at least semi-affluent and 'immature', then we're just not going to enforce the law as to you. Throwing the kid out of school is a University decision. Community service is something you get when you're trying to get a speeding ticket listed as a non-moving violation.

If you end up with community service for a speeding ticket your lawyer got owned bad.

He violated a state law, plain as day, and in a very serious manner. That state law proscribes jail time.
Even if you don't agree with me that the full 5 years is appropriate, I have no idea how you can say he should essentially go unpunished by the state.

In addition to getting kicked out of school, a serious punishment whether you acknowledge it or not, I've said that a criminal conviction and/or community service would be acceptable. This is considerably different than "essentially... unpunished".
