Utah law needs some serious re-examination.

I don't get the sentencing up there. What's with the broad range in time? Six years to life? Maybe another inmate will kill him in four and it'll be a moot point.

SOB will be out in less than 20. Any takers on that call?

6 years to life. Now that is an odd sentence.

Judge Denise Lindberg listened to nearly two hours of emotional testimony before handing down the only sentence she could under Utah law.

Good grief. I guess we have to have faith in the Utah parole board now. It's worked so far for Manson and his "family".

I agree with 4%-98% of Utah's sentencing decisions.

He should always be referred to as the 'unfortunately-named Mark Hacking.'

I don't get it. Why isn't it the death penalty?

Lori Hacking pinglist--please note: this is likely the last ping, so I will be taking the list off my home page.

My comment--6 years to life seems awfully lenient, considering what he did. I'm not sure justice is served here.

If I was Lori's Daddy I'd be waiting outside the gates of the Pen for his release, fully locked and loaded.

There is no effective deterrent for crime in this country.

Mark Hacking was sentenced Monday to six years to life...

An innocent womans life isn't worth much anymore.

Shame, really.

With this sentence, what does he have to do to get out in six?

God help us all if he is out in six years.

Meanwhile a guy who stole a TV finally got out after what, 30 years??

This is sick. He ADMITS to 1st degree murder. Shooting her and then dumping her and the baby she carried in a landfill, and he gets 6 YEARS to LIFE!

He should fry!

Utah's laws need to be seriously reviewed and rewritten for cases like these. God help and forgive me, but if I was her father, I am afraid the parole board would not have to worry about it and I would be on trial myself as in "A time to kill". I pray I am never put in such a position, but an animal like this would never get the chance to become a repeat offender.

I think he should die for what he did. But I don't have sovereign power over the people of Utah, so I guess the sentence will just have to do.

Hacking Gets 6 Years to Life for Murder

That's it? So what does that translate into? Time served?
