The psychobabble used in this case is very worrying, but the light sentence isn’t all that unusual ..... for an NFL player. CNN (and its readers/viewers) wants this kid drawn and quartered, but doesn’t have much to say about wealth and privilege when a 30 year old man who happens to make millions playing pro ball does the same thing and gets little to no prison time.
If you are going to kill someone, do it with a car. Courts are always more lenient with car than with guns.
