Used to, you killed someone you were either killed or spent life in prison. Now, there's a lot of degrees. Was it premeditated? Was it someone of a different religion? Different race?
Yeah I mean these weren't plea bargains they went to trial. It seems somewhere in there a felony was committed. But if you want the other extreme I saw a show where two guys went to rob, with a gun, some street vendor, and the vendor shot and killed one of them, and the other was charged with felony murder. I'm like damn that's harsh.
