Exactly. I'll guarantee he has a solid 8A appeal based on the excessive fines doled out by the court in this case. The law is about justice, not vengeance. In civil cases, it's about redress, and some punitive... but never should be about "making an example" of someone.
To the loons who are sure to downvote me: go right ahead. I like my laws like I like my thinking; logic sans emotion. Wanting to attach emotion to every legal measure we have is exactly why we're in the mess we're in right now. The law should be fairly and equally meted out.
