[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The victim herself probably wouldn't even want him to spend that long in prison. That's awful. That's practically the bulk of his life. He'll be an old man when he gets out. So sad. [/quote]

It would be better for him to get out of jail and murder some other innocent, unsuspecting person?  Maybe next time it would be your sister, daughter, mother, best friend....

It is possible to be criminally insane.  And the criminally insane need to be locked up.

I just don't think taking away the balance of another persons life, even if they did a bad thing, is right. You're basically advocating that his life is destroyed, too. Plus, the justice system is fundamentally racist and prejudiced, so it's highly likely he did not receive a fair trial, and when serving his sentence, he will receive very little in the way of rehabilitation. Our entire system of dealing with lawbreakers is flawed. All the emphasis is on punishment, rather than rehabilitation. So yes, I do believe it's a travesty to sentence him for so long. Two wrongs don't make a right. And there's absolutely no proof that he would ever harm anyone else again, either. You can't see the future. No one can. [/quote]

If you rape and murder another human being it is a reasonable consequence that you have ruined your own life in the process.  You are not a person that should be out walking the streets.

He very violently RAPED and KILLED an innocent woman that he did not know and who had done nothing to him - there is no reason to assume that he would not do that again.  Nothing stopped him from doing it the first time did it?

He might not value human life, he may not care that this young woman is dead.  But most people DO care.[/quote]
