22 years for murdering his wife

[dsc]

and 28 for mailing cocaine. I just finished watching an episode of American Justice in which a guy got convicted of murdering his wife and mailing cocaine to her parents. He got 6 years longer for mailing the coke then for murdering his wife. Seems totally unbelievable. On edit this was a state trial. He got the max for both crimes.

5. Well, she was only a woman, and as a wife

his property. He could do with her as he wished. :sarcasm:

I'm afraid that attitude still persists, no matter what changes in the law have said.

2. You have to watch that postage

The US Postal Service is not to be trifled with.

3. Considering the price the courts put on the life of women, sounds

about right.

That's the think about watching those shows. They're not good for the blood pressure.

Just think how much time he would get if he stole a dime out of a rich man's pocket?

4. The mailing made it Federal

And Federal Minimum Mandatory Standards are still in place, despite Federal Judges' protestations.

6. So drugs are more important than humans? That's screwed up! nt
