If someone had committed exactly the same crime in exactly the same way with exactly the same consequences except the victim wasn't a policeman, then the sentence would have to be the same under the law of precedent. He got twenty years because that's what he deserved at the very least.

And really, I'm at a loss that anyone is feeling any kind of sympathy for this waste of skin and organs. No sympathy for the family of the copper who was out there doing his job? Shame.

Also, you refer to him as a boy. He is a man above the age of majority, legally able to smoke, drink, get married, die in battle.... and serve a sentence he deserved.

It wasn't murder he didn't plan to kill him it's even possible he wouldn't have saw him until it's too late because it was the dark.

I feel sorry for him because he was never given a chance at life he was always set up to fail just because I feel sorry for this boy doesn't mean I don't have sympathy for the widowed wife and kids who lost their dad.
