Dr. Gonzo 8,187 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Sentences for crimes that I think are very serious often have me confused when they don't seem to match the crime. I'm sure 4 years is a long time in prison, but doesn't seem very long to keep a rapist locked up - does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,310 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I do wonder how much him being drunk was taken into consideration as a mitigating circumstance. Opens up a wider discussion on how accountable a person is when they're drunk and how much that reflects on the "real" sober person. Him being one of football's greats probably isn't something that should be taken into consideration but can't say that it wasn't. Would've been honoured, revered and spoken about positively for the rest of his life. Ruined his legacy for a crazy night out.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Being drunk should have no influence in judging heinous crimes like rape or actions that may lead to death, drunk driving imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
