Scum elimination.  
Okay.  Just a thought... since we can't execute them and interest in castration (the oft best choice for some crimes) makes people squirm, how about we let this guy off scot-free and banish him permanently in the process?  
Am I a crazy, sprinkled-cupcake and unicorn-loving leftist with a Bernie sticker on my bumper?  No, not hardly.  
We should get this guy to pin-point each and every person that he bought from and sold to and then ship him off to his choice of locations other than Alaska.  
The AST then gets warrants for each and every one of these people that have sold to or bought from him.  
Investigate and clean out the community, shipping the criminals out to any location of their choice, other than Alaska.  
(Make it an option... the criminal's choice to stand trial or move on to places warmer.)
