[@wsidechris]

Judge Drew Barrymore states “this is one of the most egregious cases of domestic violence the court has ever seen.” She then proceeds to give a whopping 17 year sentence, kind enough to make the weapon charge concurrent. Great work, that will teach these abusers. The guy will be out in his 30s. Why did the reporter state “where he allegedly beat her”? Uh, he was “convicted” (sort of). It’s touching how his mother states that her son will always love his murder victim. This 3 1/2 minute clip is touching in so many ways, a wonderful start to my day.

[@v.a.993]

that's not the judge's name.

[@TheRealdal]

She’s following the sentencing guidelines. If the guy has no priors, didn’t get a weapon enhancement, is not in a gang, hasn’t killed before, there’s no evidence of conspiracy or planning, then it’s a crime of passion, a domestic. She has to follow the guidelines. Gosh, so many citizens are dense and need to just educate themselves before making comments. Or get involved in politics to change the laws instead of just complaining.

[@analikab5631]

They place no value on the lives of blk women! The even let them go sometimes. 😢😢😢

[@TheRealdal]

@@analikab5631 they follow sentencing guidelines. There’s a lot of factors that go into sentencing than just the victim. Yes, it’s very sad that a woman lost her life. But the reality is that if he doesn’t have a bunch of prior felonies, hasn’t killed or assaulted before, didn’t get a weapon enhancement or gang enhancement charge, or many other types of enhancements. Then he falls under the first time offender and he’s treated the same as anyone else. Doesn’t matter if she’s black or white or he’s black or white. In fact, race has nothing to do with it.
