I’m not even talking about bias or non bias in the prosecution... I am talking about the law in MN... How is it that 1st degree premeditated attempted murder only carries a maximum sentence of 20 years??? What screwed up law says, you plotted and planned to kill someone... and tried to accomplish it... but you can ever walk the streets again??

WTF MN! WTF!

That should have a maximum sentencing of LWOP or Execution. Doesn’t mean everyone charged will get the maximum, but how is it the law in MN is set up to a point where the max you can get for this is only 20 years no matter what?

the sentence for causing an injury should be prison time for a long as the person is negatively affected by the injury.

I don’t even care if you scratched the person....

If you with complete premeditation decided you are going to kill someone, and attempt to execute your plan.. even if you utterly fail, and your victim doesn’t have a mark on them from your attempt.... The max sentence for that should be LWOP or Execution. It should not have a MAX of 20 years.

You plotted and planned and attempted to kill another person, that should not have a max sentence restriction of anything less than LWOP.

I agree

I have also proposed that if you provide false reports to the police or commit perjury or you are a cop or DA who lies or withholds exculpatory evidence you should do the same amount of time as the wrongful accused or convicted would have done, up to and including execution.

“19 years for destroying a boy and his family...there is no justice.”

Agreed 100%.

Why should the perp get a lighter sentence simply because the victim didn’t die?

The penalty for ATTEMPTED murder should be the same as 1st degree murder.

The act was premeditated. The victim just didn’t cooperate by dying, as the perp intended.

The communist and their bitches, the demon rat party, are fixing things just the way they want them, to end the Republic which stands in the way of antichrist rising.

California, New York and Minnesota are states I would not even drive through, much less buy anything to add to their enabling. Oregon and Washington and Colorado are running for being added tot he never go there list.

Praying for him. Has this been called a hate crime yet or is that out of the question in that part of the country?

“The penalty for ATTEMPTED murder should be the same as 1st degree murder.”

If you attempt to buy illegal drugs and buy a placebo it’s still the same charge. Maybe not a perfect corollary, but.......

“Hopefully he and his parents will get the support they need to take the recovery as far as it can logically go. They must have good insurance.”

All expenses should be covered by the Mall. They should not have that burden, too.

What’s up with this judgement? 19 years for what he did is a drop in the bucket. Should be life.
