The time should fit the crime
Would you lock up for life in your house your own kid for or coming home drunk? high? and then have to pay for them until you die, everything they need? FOREVER? for a one time offense? come ooonnnn. 50% of criminals are in jail for nonviolent drug charges. that is a lot of people who need help with addiction, not to be put in the same cell with to a child-molestor or a murderer.

Why have laws at all, we should just start letting people do whatever they want. Drugs, Assault,Robbery, Murder, anything goes I guess?

"Aaron also made the mistake of pleading not guilty and perjuring himself in court, which enhanced his sentence."
"Aaron now admits his guilt"
Sounds like he knew he was guilty and took a chance at lying under oath to the courts to try to weasel his way out of trouble. Sounds like he either got bad legal advice or thought he was OJ or something.
