10 years in prison for Murder but 40 years for intent to sell? LOL
lol @ prision being a 'vacation.' Double lol @ those of you wanting to kill people over victimless crimes.Didn't say it didn't happen, but our "criminal" culture in the US would change drastically if the criminals had more to worry about than a vacation with tv, workout room, and free meals. Do something to deter them from NEVER wanting to do it again.
What should the punishment be?
I say, 6 months in prison, 5 years supervised probation, anger management classes during prison/probation. Record wiped clean after completion with 0 infractions during that time with the condition that if he ever be convicted of a violent crime again that he be charged to full extent for the original infraction. An accident is an accident and kids will be kids. I would not want his life ruined over a stupid accident.
Its an accidental death, 6 months in club fed will likely turn them more violent.
How about a mandatory 10 service in the armed forces? They will lose their freedom but at the same time be taught disciplilne, self reliance and respect.
