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

What other intention is there, other than malicious, in lighting a fire to someone's dick?

There is no clear cut intention of physical harm. Very simply a reasonable doubt of intention due to the tanning oil instantly catching fire.

I've taken other factors into account: reports of gay slurs written on the boy's torso and forehead,

According to the report there was no objection by Simpson. If Simpson was objecting and not enjoying himself then the above factors may lend some weight to intent, but since this was not the case then the above factors are irrelevant.

the fact that someone actually went into the house and found the oil, then brought it out for use,
to conclude that this wasn't anything but intent to hurt. If you intend to hurt and you end up killing: that shit's on you.

Since the report did not state who brought out the oil your above statement is not incorrect. Unless your intent was to say that the person who got the oil should be charged also for murder then the above statement would be misleading with the insinuation that the person who got the oil is Sheard. I totally agree that if you intend to harm and someone dies then you should be held to account.


I think it is a awful crime but unless someone here has the court transcripts, it is really hard to comment on the judgement.
