I think that the one point SF actually has here is that the prosecutors were not seeking jail time for any of this, and that it was imposed by the judge. SF could be right that there were racist or misogynistic motives in that part. There were also, likely, anti-athlete motives, anti-impunity motives, and anti-smug-fuck motives.
I honestly don't think that they can be picked out, and accusing the judge of one or any of them is so much whistling in the dark if one doesn't actually read his opinion (which I am not interested in this enough to do even if it were handed me.)
