One mistake? Sounds like a whole bunch of mistakes.
“Sounds like a whole bunch of mistakes.”
Yes, agreed. However, I have to say that sentencing someone to life imprisonment when none of their previous offenses rated any jail time seems a bit extreme.
I remember when Jim Baker got sentenced to, like, 40 years for fraud (or whatever it was exactly) and my brother (no fan of Mr. Baker to be sure) was outraged over it. He said to me “you need to realize, the average murderer serves 3 years!”
Not sure if he was right on that, but there sure are a lot of killers who are out an about having “paid their debt to society”.
