I don’t know how long the judge in Florida can send him to the big house for manslaughter but it’s not the judge’s fault the jury found the man guilty of that and not murder.

we all know why he was not found guilty of murder don’t we Yogi?

The jurors bear the primary responsibility for this. Judge can't force a conviction. And I do give the judge a point for letting the poor woman have her rant without consequences.

The purpose of a judicial system is to protect the population from vigilante justice. As unreasonably light sentences proliferate, as police presence diminishes, we will witness an inevitable increase in incidences where aggrieved parties mete out frontier justice. And when juries refuse to convict these vigilantes, the government will finally realize they have surrendered total authority.
