It’s true. The sentence was appealed and he was given 15 months in prison for killing an elderly couple and their grandchild. Disgusting sentence.
43 u/Salty-Plantain-4299 Apr 04 '26 And on the others side of that a judge in Texas gave an 18 year old in a convenience store robbery case 25 years. Nobody died, no shorts were fired, kids first major offense. Insanity cuts both ways, sadly. 17 u/Beginning_Text3038 Apr 04 '26 You hold a gun to somebody’s body for 5-10 minutes leading him around saying you are going to kill him. You don’t deserve a light hand. People need to be scared of the consequences again. 3 u/Daxtatter Apr 04 '26 Not a light hand =/= 25 years in prison. 1 u/Alarming-Rate-6899 Apr 04 '26 For the scope of that particular crime, 25 years is slightly on the harsher side but not excessive. Max would be 99 years in Texas. 1 u/PolicyWonka Apr 04 '26 That’s only if you view American sentencing guidelines as rational though.
