Punishment is unfortunately needed for deterrence.
But 20 years? Does anybody here have any grasp about how long 20 years are in prison?
Where I'm from the maximum sentence is 15 years in prison.
- jwdunne 14y agoYes, that stood out to me too. There are people in the UKwjo have been released or sentenced much shorter terms for FAR more heinous crimes. We're talking juveniles who have tortured and killed infants, people who have beaten children to death, people who raped multiple women and much more. I know he stole a lot of money but this is compared to people who have destroyed lives, many of whom enjoyed doing so.
- cgag 14y agoI've never really understood why people want such long prison sentences. Is that guy going to be any more reformed after 20 years than 5?
