He ought to be punished. But IMO, that is far too long.

Why was he punished for cultivating marijuana? I thought that is legal there?

A man convicted of starting California's Dolan Fire -- which critically injured a firefighter, destroyed several homes and killed a dozen of endangered condors -- was sentenced to 24 years in prison, prosecutors announced.

Ivan Gomez, 31, was found guilty of 16 felony counts, including arson, cultivating marijuana, throwing rocks at a vehicle and 12 counts of cruelty to animals, the Monterey County District Attorney's Office said in a Wednesday news release.

Michael Belter, an attorney for Gomez, said "a notice of appeal has been filed."
