Nope, but it does adequately punish the murderer.
Quote:I agree that her story was BS, but the sentence was too severe for a 16 year old. And it would not have made any difference if the victim was someon in my family. Don't know why you are so sympathetic for a dirty old criminal who got killed breaking the law.
I think if you read my posts in this thread I stated that a reduction in sentence would not have been out of order, but fourteen years for 1st degree murder and robbery is obscene. I'm not sympathetic to the victim's procuring a prostitute in violation of the law. I am sympathetic to his being murdered in his sleep and then having his possessions stolen. Unless you're advocating that his crime warranted a death sentence. Oddly enough, you've agreed with me on this case in the past, I guess you just couldn't resist being contrary where I am concerned.
