[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s right and fair. Sentences in the US are far too long. For someone lacking the intent to take a life, we should have short sentences. We should also have more 10-20 year sentences for intentional murders. [/quote] My stepbrother was murdered at 16 by two kids (ages 14 and 16). The perpetrators got life in prison with the possibility of parole. This was about 30 years ago. For like the last 10 or 15 years, they’ve been eligible for parole several times. My stepmother goes to the hearing EVERY time, has the family write a ton of letters opposing their release, etc. I don’t know how much weight her voice is given, but they are still in prison. Denied parole every time. I think a lot of us family members are like…eh, let them out and let them try to live a decent life. But no one is going to say that to a mother who lost her son and who is still - 30 years on - absolutely devastated by it. [/quote]
