I think that this whole problem was caused by the brevity of my initial post. My brain runs on tangents and daydreams. Unfortunately the way I write tends to mimic my thought process and sometimes I’m surprised I can write anything intelligible at all. You’re welcome to discuss the issue at hand how you see fit. I don’t have any particular role I wish anyone to fulfill. I just like reading other people’s opinions.
Coincidentally, my reasons for being outraged are basically the same as yours for wanting a longer sentence. I couldn’t have put it any better than you did in your third post. He went out to make an example out of someone, and apparently in the end it didn’t matter who it was. That type of person, no matter how well intentioned, deserves a long time in prison. I think that 30 year sentence the prosecution asked for seemed reasonable.
