In Minnesota, possession of 42.5 grams of marijuana constitutes a felony.
HOWEVER
Physically abusing, sexually abusing and torturing the elderly, and failing to report all if the above are misdemeanors.
What's with the fancy ass wording? Abuse of a vulnerable adult by a caregiver? They fucking TORTURED these people, why give it a fancy, non-threatening name Abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact? Nope, how 'bout SEXUAL ABUSE?
The story:
Misdemeanors? Wait, lemme try that again. MISDEMEANORS?!?!
That's a complete insult to the victims of these crimes and their families. No wonder people love committing crimes so much nowadays, it barely pays. I know people who went to jail or PRISON for victimless crimes, but sexually abusing the elderly...nahhh....that's just a misdemeanor.
I would say that I hope the girls are punished to the full extent of the law but if they have no priors the chances are they might just get probation, at most I imagine them getting reduced sentences.
I wish we had a bang-my-head-against-the-wall smiley.

Broitzman and Larson were charged Monday with fifth-degree assault, abuse of a vulnerable adult by a caregiver, abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, disorderly conduct and failing to report suspected maltreatment. All are gross misdemeanors, with a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $3,000 fine for each count.

The story:
A criminal complaint filed Monday says they also laughed together early this year as they spat in residents' mouths, poked and groped their breasts and genitals and at times taunted them until they screamed -- or witnessed those events.
