They should give people like that death, but sometimes the court systems are a joke. My hubby is a cop and you won't believe the skanky people that get away with a lot of stuff. (DUI's, domestics, fights, harasment, disorderly conduct, assult on peace officer, etc.) People getting shorter sentences, it's across the board for everything right now. Our prisons are overflowing, and costing loads of money. Example: Inmate has aids/cancer/stds our tax dollars pay for them, they get full medical care, whatever they want or need. Okay, now I know that I am getting really off track, but all of these little things add up to these accused people of getting shorter sentences due to plea bargans.
