He was a good lawyer at some point in his life?
How many bewildering moments have we had where we have seen an unbelievably lenient judgment passed down onto a perpetrator who so thoroughly deserved the full retribution of the law? Too many I say!
If this crime happened in a country that had death penalties, the fuckers who did this would’ve been killed because the gov wouldn’t waste money and resources trying to “rehabilitate” them, not to mention doing the right thing by the victim and her family.
The issue in this country is the judges are often swayed to give non maximum jail terms to save money (yea they come up with all sorts of excuses who the fuck believes them?), and the only tool they have here is a shorter sentence.
I reckon judges need to be held accountable for their actions. If they gave a sentence that was too lenient to a perp and that guy ended up reoffending, that judge needs to be considered aiding and abetting, and be liable to a criminal sentence!
