you havent even looked at.

I think the sentence was just. The kid was obviously going through a tough time in his life when he did this. He could have easily gotten the full 90 years and the judge would have been justified in giving it to him. As it sands he should be out in 7 years and hopefuly he will get some help in the meantime.

I think the sentence shows a lot of compassion on the judges part.
