our justice system is fucked up, ineffective and poorly concieved- we do not punish well, we do not rehabilitate well, and as a result we have a constant recycling of people through our system- seriously, ask anyone on the street what our prison system is for, and you have a 50% chance that they will say punishment, the other 50% will say rehabilitation......it does not work, and costs billions...... as to the perps in this case, I say punishment is appropriate- and I do not feel that the state has much right to decide their fate- let the victims decide..........in fact, In all cases, I feel that the agrieved party should be able to pick the punishment from a list of (suitably viscious) approved options.........
