“He is sentenced to five years in prison.” He gets five years for shooting his wife, after being imprisoned already for voluntary manslaughter? Was the judge a Democrat? Good point. In CA this would be a third strike. I think the minimum is 25 years. So he would be near 53 YO on release. Perhaps he would have had time to reflect, and five others of us would be alive. Such is the wisdom of 3 strikes and other mandatory sentencing on violent offenders. C2K

Umm, 53 is young.
