kcballer:
I think a tough sentence is in order, but certainly not life without parole or anything like that.

Let the kid go. The womans family should understand.

I have no problem whatsoever with locking this kid up for whatever time it takes to get him straight.
But the prisons of today, with minimal rehabilition functions?
That's a waste.
FWIW, I have the same view on all sentencings.
I don't have any problem with putting people in prison for a long time, if it means that they will be straight when they come out.
My only priority is law-abiding citizens.
As short sentence as possible is in the interest of the taxpayers, and that can only be done if the time spent is effective.
From my point of view, every year this kid is in prison, the society loses input to the GNP.

don't forget the other side of the equation, the society pays of him to be in jail.
