A middle ground decision of manslaughter getting 20+ years is no “compromise” b/w 2nd-DM at 30 years & full acquittal ... this obsession with trying to please everybody cannot be done at the expense of individual freedoms.
“this obsession with trying to please everybody cannot be done at the expense of individual freedoms.”
It’s not about trying to please everyone. It’s about trying to please people who either don’t understand or don’t care about what our laws mean. Policies have been replaced by emotions. Keeping the angry mob happy has become more important than reaching the right decision. This case is just the most widely televised current example. Unfortunately, what happens in this case is going to reshape a lot of how things are done going forward.
