Man who brutally beat HS student with shovel asks for reduced sentence

[left-of-center2012]

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Justin Hansen, the man doing prison time for the brutal beating of an Albuquerque high school student,
wants to spend more time with his family. And for that, he wants a reduced sentence.

Hansen pleaded no contest to the brutal beating of a Cibola High School student, Brittani Marcell. He got 18 years in prison with credit for time served.

Now, in this motion filed just last week, Hansen wants his sentence reduced.
His attorney cited numerous reasons to reduce the sentence, including Hansen's inability to see his family because he's serving his time out of state ... wanting to spend more time with his family.
Hansen's oldest son also wants him to be there for his prom and high school graduation.

In their response to Hansen's request for a reduced sentence, prosecutors say Hansen's reasons are "insufficient." They pointed out that "Marcell was unable to attend her own high school prom and graduation," due to the massive injuries Hansen inflicted upon her.
Prosecutors also point out that his victim, Brittani Marcell, will undergo her 25th surgery for the attack injuries in late March.

1. Fu** him

He already got a reduced sentence as far as I'm concerned.

3. Tough shit.

Actions have consequences. He is the one who deprived his family of his presence, not the courts, not the jail and certainly not the victim.

4. He should

never get out of prison

5. Only 18 years???????????

Give him 100 years and allow him to get out in 50. How's that for a reduced sentence?

7. 18 years sounds fair, as long as

the clock doesn't start until his victim makes a full recovery.

8. Sounds good to me

6. Yet another inmate who has grown tired of prison.

[Faux pas]

9. They

should give him more time for having the nerve to ask for less time.

10. Not that anyone does, but if someone feels sorry for this guy, read what he did.

He randomly ambushed her, beat her with a shovel to the point where she has severe brain damage and deafness in one ear. The victim almost died. He’s a psycho, and keeping him away from his kids could only be a good thing.
