Just curious it terms of the sentence. Life seems a little harsh for someone offered 15 years but is life really life or is 15 years really 15 years in Florida.

I have a problem with these types of plea deals. I think they make a mockery of our right to a trial by jury by introducing an element of "rolling the dice for your life" to it.

We have a right to a trial by jury. "We'll offer you a slap on the wrist or you can take it to a jury and we'll give you life behind bars if you lose" isn't really justice.
