Our Legal System Sucks.

A very good friend of mine just got sentenced to 10 years on drug charges.A few years back another person I knew was shot and killed, the fucker that shot him was only sentenced to 7 years.How does that work?

[Jana]

Yup, that's fucked up.

[Blade]

How does that work? Ill check on that for you. Something is fishy in that.........

[LightningGSX]

Nope, nothing fishy.This guy went over to his house with the intent to shoot him, he ended up with a "manslaughter" type charge, because both of them had guns, even though the person who got killed didn't show/pull his.

[npaulseth]

That's BS. No way it should have been a manslaughter charge if he never pulled his gun.

On a side note, $100 says he'll only spend 6-7 years in jail.

He has to serve a minimum of 85%, so 8.5 years

Ya if you go kill a Bird thats on the Exstinked list, You could face 10 years. Kill somone and get 5-7.

[npaulseth]

Really. When I was in HS, I was tought that people generally serve 70-75% of thier sentance.
