how much more(or less) should the judge have really gave ? they didnt kill him.
they didnt blind him or amputate him, they branded him with an iron which looks to be the worse of it.
to be getting 4 or 5 years in prison seems like a good sentence for them.
if that had happened to me and those responsible got those sentences i'd probably be happy with the result.
They've permanently disfigured someone. That's a life long thing. Not to mention the mental scars.
Put yourself in the kids shoes, can you imagine how utterly terrified he must have been?
This was a cold, callous and vicious attack. Do you think after two or three years in prison these people are just gonna completely change and never do anything bad again? Do you think it serves as any kind of deterrent?
