Disabled Gay teen burned alive at a BDAY party, perp gets 3years?

[Autumnlicious]

Could you enlighten me as to what you find idiotic about the law being applied evenly to people?

When you admit that not all cases of murder are the same.

There is verifiable stupidity, there is luring under the guise of stupidity, etc, etc,.

Applying the same punishment, say to a young adult who was coerced to murder under threat and someone who desired to kill the victim and planned it willfully, is fundamentally unjust.

Also judges most certainly are not capable in the vast majority of cases.

If that's the case, better put on the tin foil hat and become a hermit. No chance in hell for you, right, because judges are "most certainly not capable in the vast majority of cases".

Are you aware of the differences in death penalty cases between people with public defenders and those without?

Does it occur to you that the act of having good representation and not makes a difference in the case narrative?

Once again, Baby, Bathwater.

With mandatory sentences for crimes like murder it makes an egalitarian system that is incapable of making an error like this.

No, it makes a system incapable of handling anything but the most common of cases.

Way to Captain!

You just created an imbalance like mandatory sentencing has done so already!

The law reduced the disparity between the amount of crack cocaine and powder cocaine needed to trigger certain United States federal criminal penalties from a 100:1 weight ratio to an 18:1 weight ratio and eliminated the five-year mandatory minimum sentence for simple possession of crack cocaine, among other provisions.

I mean you want to make this about the guy being gay and be outraged but propose no solutions other than have better judges.

You're a goddamn liar.

Here's what I said (looks like basic reading comprehension is out of your scope!):

Also, why is judicial error like this unpunished or unconfronted?

...
I want additional feedback to resolve these problems.

See.

You're a goddamn moron if you can say with a straight face that I "propose no solutions other than have better judges."

I would posit that it is impossible to have better judges because people are human beings and subject to bias, error, corruption.

I would posit that assholes like you are the reason that we don't implement feedback systems, anti-corruption and anti-bias panels, not set up metastudies that are not paid for by either entities interested in imprisoning (jails, sheriffs assocs) or interested in freeing all prisoners (Amnesty Intnl, etc)...


You're part of the problem inherent in the system.

Complexity is beyond you.
