The way the trial was handled seemed shady to me, IIRC, even if the guy is guilty.

Yes, that is my recollection too. I think one issue was that had he been tried and convicted at the time he would never have been eligible for such a lengthy sentence as a youthful offender. That might not be accurate, but that’s what I remember. Imho it is not fair to give him a longer sentence due to the fact it took the state so long to bring their case, it is not as if he fled the country or something like that.
