The court cares of the defendant is an asshole. You will get a higher sentence for being remorseless.

I agree that two years is a really long time. But then, I think a single year in prison for dealing heroin on a corner is also a really long time, and the people who get imprisoned for doing that had far fewer options and opportunities than Keys did, so it's hard for me to imagine Keys being anyone's cause celebre.
