Let's not ignore the fact that:

- The group was designated as "Antifa cell", and thus this became a terrorist and aiding terrorism charges.

- The judge went above and beyond to hand out harsh punishments. There's been commentary from previous state prosecutors that the sentences, and how they were carried out, were much harsher than predicted. The speculation was that these sentences are being handed out to be served consecutively, not concurrently.

Would not surprise me if some of them could be appealed as "cruel and unusual punishments" / 8th amendment.

I would be shocked if this doesn't get overturned on the basis that the judge hand selected the jury without allowing participation of the defense.
