I was just reading this and I cannot help but think that 8 years is nothing for the crime that was committed.
I could care less if the guy was on drugs (though it does not say) this to me is a totally unacceptable sentence. So if no non parole period is imposed he could be eligible to get out after 3 years ??
What should it be , Look I don't know but the time sentenced seems nothing compared to the crime committed. 15 - 25 years non parole should seem like it IMO.
Just stirs up a lot emotion on how lax our justice system is.
Edit : Sorry I thought I had this in the politics section, could somebody move it if required please.
