You are saying the same thing the person you are criticising is.
He said "can throw you in prison for 10 years" You say "maximum possible sentence of 10 years"
Exact same thing.
Be in the accused's position, and then argue the difference.

I was refuting this:
> Welcome to the New World Order where they can throw you into prison at will with supposed evidence which truth content can be hard to verify even by experts.
That statement assumes that he will be convicted and the judge will deliver a severe sentence, which is not necessarily a valid assumption since there's barely any information provided. It's possible he may simple get a community service sentence with parole, since he is 17.
And yes, the government "can" throw you in jail if you are found guilty and if the judge decides to, but neither of those "if's" have been decided yet.
