MODERATORS
Yeah, I’d agree he should have been convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. But the judge was forced to sentence him the same as his two co-conspirators who actually committed the murder. The article mentions part of his sentence was because he didn’t come forward to stop the murder from happening.
Let me ask you something though. What incentive did he have to come forward if he risked receiving the same sentence as them? Because to me, it sounds like these mandatory minimum laws might have tied the judges hands if he was still found guilty regardless.
A high-profile case like this will discourage people in his situation coming forward in the future in my opinion.
Of course, there should be incentive to right your wrongs. If there isn't, then that's a problem that needs to be fixed. I just wanted to comment on the title, which implied that he had absolutely nothing to do with the murder.
