A few years back the average served sentence for premeditated first degree murder was 7 years. No idea what it is now.
I think it is about the same. BTW here in Nevada you would most likely do more time for cheating a casino than for manslaughter.
GOOD GRIEF!!
Going off topic a little but slightly related, we started losing this country long ago.
I started watching the 1978 “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and Donald Sutherland gives as a reason for a woman’s husband acting emotionless and odd is that he possibly had become a “republican”, among other things.
I shut it off.
So all the things we stand for, REAL prison terms, patriotism, defending our borders etc., have been considered signs of a mental illness in Hollywood for AT LEAST 40 years.
That needs to change.
