i'm glad this woman got time. but 44 years?! there are people who have done way worse stuff (please don't think i'm downplaying what she did because i'm not) and get 15-20 years.
Because they were black?
The other one got 15 years with 8 years suspended. Big difference between the two sentences.
Theres a first time for everything. Thanks Matt.
