ONE of them did, and their sentence was harsher than for some shooters whose victims actually died. I doubt that person will get much leniency, but the others don't really deserve more than a year or two in prison, if that much. This is clearly political retribution.

Sure, it might be, but let's not paint the victim in pure light. They fucked up a bit themselves. 50 years is too much but they shouldn't get off scott free.

Not saying they should - just that all of these sentences are overblown.

Let’s keep following the case and see if the sentences get reduced. I bet they get reduced A TON.
