And you know this, how? Seriously. How do you know that he 1) picked her up for sex and 2)knew she was under 18?
I grant you that that's the most likely scenario, but it's not something we "DO know".

I get that, but it seems from your posts, you're more upset for the length of her sentence because of who she killed and less on her past. I get her past is tragic, but that doesn't excuse her actions. As it doesn't excuse her actions, I don't really see how the punishment should be mitigated.
