But the pope said to make nice with muzzies and to invite them into your house! Only a bunch of subhuman savages would treat him like that.

Colon acknowledged having been a patient in a mental institution in the past. That's why. Sounds like he'll do 4 years in a mental institution, which will make him 21 then they can give him the whole 15 years as an adult.

The conviction took two years so why rush the sentencing. Mussies get all the breaks. Let you or me jaywalk and we'd be on the prison chain gang this time next week.
