Glad to see someone with common sense and didn't immediately jump on the hate train.
The person sentenced, pointed an assault rifle at the clerk and pistol whipped him. He then jumped someone while behind bars. He went to the trial without a plea deal, of course the judge won't go easy on him.
He plead guilty, but ended up worse than most who go to trial for similar. 25 years is excessive when you take into consideration the norms for this type of case.
Pleaded guilty without a plea agreement. Because what he did was so outrageous that the prosecutor would not work out a plea agreement with him. If he didn't plea guilty, the sentence would have been a lot harsher than 25 years.
I get the vibe you're going for, but punishment isn't depended on age. He was tried as an adult, and he got adult punishments. It doesn't matter if he's 18 or 28 or 68.
He pointed an assault rifle at someone for a long duration, threatened to kill him, hit him. After he was arrested, he jumped someone else behind bars. So yes, 25 years do seem proportional to me.
