Murder seems easy.

You don't need mandatory sentencing unless you have compiled all the possible events into a coherent set of laws.

The massive problem is what lead the idiot judge up to "3 years".

Aggravating circumstances were seemingly ignored.

Why were they ignored?

Well we have a system that is subject to human error. You can't expect a perfect system when people are in charge. This stuff will always happen when judges decide sentencing. If certain crimes always carried certain sentences then this wouldn't happen. You can't have it both ways and then complain when it fails.

Judges have shown themselves capable for the vast majority of cases.

Why this one?

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

You advocate throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I want additional feedback to resolve these problems.

Not idiotic simple solutions.

Could you enlighten me as to what you find idiotic about the law being applied evenly to people? Also judges most certainly are 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? With mandatory sentences for crimes like murder it makes an egalitarian system that is incapable of making an error like this.

I mean you want to make this about the guy being gay and be outraged but 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.

As for the OP: See, this is why, whenever someone tells me that European courts are better than American courts, I say "Uh. In what way, exactly?" This is a fucking atrocity against justice. Three years for manslaughter?! FUCK THAT! That's fucking murder in the third degree. What prosecutor accepted that shit??
