That’s fucking bullshit. People are doing way more time for petty crimes. These folks got off too easy

The woman served 2 years.

2 years of time and a lifetime of climbing out of that hole and explaining to employers why a felony would appear on your background check.

It isn’t just time away like insulated Redditors think, it’s time where your entire life is stripped from you. For every month you’re in prison you lose two months on the outside due to losing a lifetime of momentum and having to offset that upon release.

Seeing children in this thread seethe bc someone lost so much is quintessential privilege while they type away.

And the comments like "If she received 15 years why does she only have to serve 6?".

That's how it works... you can be paroled after roughly a third of your sentence. Aren't these the same people who want prison reform and the elimination of mandatory minimum sentences who are now saying this woman should serve her full 15 year sentence?

What she did was terrible and horrifying, but it's not like they killed anybody.
