Our In-Justice System

What I really want to know is "Who gets to decide how much a life is worth?"


Whereas I believe that many of our 50 years to life sentences are egregious, what I find even more egregious is when we give different people who commit the SAME crime different sentences.


How was it decided that Mr. Colono's life was only worth two years? Who will give restitution to Mr Colono's child? Mr. Pring-Wilson will likely get out before the two years, go back to graduate school, live a long, privileged life (he already started out that way) and pass along many opportunities to his children. Mr. Colono's child will likely not have any of these opportunities and no father.


Mr. Colono's past did not justify Mr. Pring-Wilson taking a life. What was Mr. Pring-Wilson doing with a knife. That in seventy seconds he could wield the knife in such a way that it killed Mr. Colono makes me believe that there is an angry past that perhaps was kept from the jury.


This just makes absolutely no sense.
