An Aurora man who sprayed lighter fluid on his 3-year-old niece and then set her on fire because she was bothering him while he was listening to music pleaded guilty today to heinous battery and was sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Raymundo Herrera, 19, of the 1200 block of South Grove Street pleaded guilty but mentally ill in a plea agreement, said Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Lori Schmidt.

As much as I am bothered about the sentence, I will give it a pass as long as the judge who gave it gets life for judging a 3 year old life is only worth 17 years with 10 off for good behavior.
The judge is a pig.
Oh, I dunno, 17 years with time off for good behavior is fine by me if they’d throw in an eye for an eye clause.
- pleaded guilty but mentally ill
Mentally Evil.
He testified at a house hearing a couple of years ago and he was asked (by a dim) if he thought there was anything they could do, other than ending parole, to bring down the recidivism rates in Texas.
He said, "yeah, eye for and eye works or me", the House Member said, "do you really think that would work?"
He said, "It will work real damn good on the murderers."
He should be running for the legislature.
I’d vote for this guy.
Obviously many people would, they are fed up with a ‘justice’ system that has nothing to do about justice anymore. From the crooked cops with ham sandwiches backing each other up with lies, to the shyster lawyers, to the corrupt judges that have their own agendas, and have no real interest in adminstering justice at all.
I could do a better job and dispense justice far better than almost any judge I can think of. Most of us on this site could.
Vendome’s version of a just and proper punishment:
I would have chained his hands and legs, then pulled him up four flights of metal fire escape stairs, feet first.
Then I would have kicked him in the family jewels just enough to cause a stomach ache every 15 minutes for 8 hours.
After that I would push him out a window letting him fall four stories into a pile of razor wire 5 rolls high and 5 rolls wide.
He could lay in the pile of razor wire for two days in the desert sun and then I would release a flock of crows and 1 gallon of scarabs right next to him.
But that’s just me.
He said, "hey, come on guys, he was 18". That surprised us because of all the lectures he had given that justice must be served without emotion, let the law speak for itself. So we were surprised that he showed mercy. He said, "mercy my ass. If I kill him people in my neighborhood will remember it for about 5 years. I shot that jackass in the leg because I knew he would spend the next 60 years telling everyone, 'stay away from that guy's house, he's crazy, he shot me in the leg and it hurts like hell every time it rains!'".
I can’t understand why they just didn’t set Raymundo on fire. Why should the taxpayers be required to support the lowlife SOB for the next 17 years? The next thing you know, he’ll be demanding that we pay for him to get a law degree while he’s in prison doing nothing.
