So they'll serve less than 10 years? They got off light.

 

[Timbuktu]

I think a life is worth more than 11 years though... That makes life feel so cheap.

We shouldn't read into sentences as about the worth of the victims life, which is irreplaceable. It is about their crime, which to be honest feels fair to me.

Wow, so she was left brain dead. I can't imagine what kind of mental state someone has to be in to be so brutal over a picture.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

So does everybody involved get charged with murder. Sounds like it was just a regular brawl until she got a boot to the temple.

 

[MJLord]

A kick to the temple on someone who's down is criminal regardless of who threw the first punch.

It's barbaric.

 

[Snaku]

Only 11 years for viciously beating someone to death? What in the fuck?

 

[wildfire]

I'm conflicted. The last update makes me feel this

But every time I think about why they are being convicted in the first place and feel this.

Story is really sad on many levels. Hope her family and friends can find peace.

What's also sad is the number of intelligent people in this thread completely oblivious to what the bystander effect is.
