CORVALLIS, Ore. -- A man shot in the leg while looking for cans in an alley behind an Oregon State University fraternity when he was homeless says he feels the student who shot him got too light a sentence.
 
Dennis Sanderson told The Corvallis Gazette-Times that if the situation were reversed and a college student was shot at a homeless camp, he believes the resulting charges and sentence would have been much more serious.
 
Sanderson told the newspaper he probably would have been sent to prison for years in that case, unlike the 150 days in jail that former Alpha Gamma Rho member Josh Grimes served for assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
 
Grimes was convicted of shooting Sanderson with a .22-caliber rifle in 2006.
 
Sanderson won a $41,000 jury award this week in a lawsuit against Grimes and the fraternity.
