I equate it to the abused wife who can never seem to leave but lashes out at others in her life.  That she stole something maybe meant she was going to try and run away.  I don't know.  I'm not saying she isn't guilty just that the facts of her life and how/whhe was there should mitigate her sentencing.

Was it solely because of this case?

There are others with the same sentence, but hers is what pushed TN to make a change.

I'm sure that legally I am wrong...but morally I feel it is the right thing to do.
