The Judge who sentenced this guy was one of those who recommended commuting his sentence. So, I ask you...why would you put someone up to a unreasonable standard that no one, including you could follow?
We can all agree that sometimes these bad guys get off early or should not have gotten off at all, but we cannot base our entire penal system on keeping people locked up for the rest of their lives unreasonably. Case in point, California’s three strikes and you get life sentencing without chance for parole. I owned an apartment complex in Sacramento and in it was the attorney of the guy who received a life sentence for stealing a bicycle out of someone’s garage. His previous two felonies did not include violence or a gun, but were felonies. The attorney was so sick of this judgement he could no longer practice law and who can blame him...it was barbaric.
Suffice it to say that we have vastly different views of our criminal justice system.
