The law just isn't so clear-cut that you can apply a "all people involved in murder get life" rule. Maybe that is the case for this situation. But we've all heard stories about a someone who murdered their rapist. Did they break the law, yes. Should they see some punishment, probably. Should that punishment be life? Well with mandatory sentencing, that's what has to happen. Isn't that what crimes of passion are? They sometimes reduce those to voluntary manslaughter if it's some situation like that. --- Neon >_> <cite>DKBananaSlamma posted [p:973235174] in A 15yo gir...
