Hummm that is 1.75 years per person he murdered. I bet he feels he got a great deal.


I fell sorry for the families and friends of his victims.

and i thought the justice system sucks in my country... tssk he should have the sentence times twice over on each count of murder. even if he was 13, the mere fact he did them on purpose should be looked into. and they could blame society if they want, but how about giving "justice" its rightful meaning?

Bravo for bringing up this subject, and the purpose for your blog. Very cool.

O.k. this is so stupid. I can't believe he murdered all those people and he's getting off basically scott free compared to the BTK killer. He killed just as many people and he's getting 175 years in prison without parole. It's crazy how our justice system is. We should be more like Texas.GO BUSH!!!

This was one of many terrible things that have happened involving students and killings. These people have served their sentences, but it's not enough. The laws will have to be changed to make things right. Those two planned to ambush those kids and teachers. I don't want them to be living where I live and I certainly don't want them living where my children live.
