The Sentencing Answer

Last week I laid out a factual scenario here, asking for your comments and emails about what sentence the defendant should receive.

Most of your replies tended on the high end of the range, around 14 years. After all, many of you argued, she already received the benefit of a reduced plea bargaining bringing her max sentence down from 50 years to 14 years.

And the judge sentenced the defendant to . . . . 2 years of local time and no parole.

Thoughts?

  1. Shameful. That will equate to about 18 months in a local jail. May as well pencil her in on your 2015 calendar for further violent crimes.
