Only 16 yrs for taking a life are you kidding if you kill someone you should get no less than life in prison

[@randallstewart8487]

County Attorneys have to go by State law,if you want it changed you have to petition your State Legislative Politicians to change it,what he stated is true on the time and confession by State Law!And yes 16 years isnt enough time for what he did,he should have gotten Life without the possibilty of parole!

I think we need to go back to frontier Justice.

[@shirleypoplo-ej7lz]

I agree

[@alison2649]

Well I still doubt any real justice would happen because regular ppl face to face with the perp? Those men are fast talkers and know how to turn it on and confuse us. After all,it’s hard for normal ppl to even understand that kind of rage and contempt. When it came down to it they’d probably what? Punch him? Fight him? It definitely wouldn’t be the appropriate justice that’s warranted

[@heather-cz8yk]

Buddy murderer negotiated that in his Plea Deal to not have the info out.

[@user-pm3pf9id9q]

Well, This police department thinks highly of themselves when the only reason they found Kelly's body was because the killer (Kelly's husband )was offered a deal of Second Degree for the murder of his wife Kelly if he told them where her body was. The killer (her husband) jumped on that deal and tells them. They race to where he said her body is. ( The police department's hard work. really! )and this monster that decided to end Kelly's life gets 16 short years! And the police department has the nerve to take how much time patting themselves on the back for all the Hard work they did in finding Kelly!! before even saying Kelly's name. Hard work is handing out a plea deal! 16 years for Kelly's life!! ........... He will be out in 16 years!

[@blakesleyk.7166]

He’ll probably be out in 6. Can’t believe, during this Cops Oscar’s, he forgot to even mention what Kelly’s life meant. Her brutal death. Too busy handing out trophy’s to the “investigative TEAM SPORT.” Direct quote. Then victim blames community for being asleep @the wheel. Disengaged.

16 years is not right. He hid her body and lied about it for how many days? It was only after blood was found in the home that you put pressure on him to come clean on where her body was and he received 16 years? Did the attorney not look hard enough into the laws to make sure husband could be charged with more? My condolences to Kelly's family.

People’s lives just don’t mean anything! 16 years? This is why so many people know that they can basically get away with killing somebody. It’s just plain sickening.

[@lisas8244]

IMO law enforcement needs to keep their egos in check, stop handing out gold stars and pats on the back and focus on the victim. More should be said about her life and the loss the family is experiencing. The over the top complimenting themselves for doing what they are paid to do is just sickening. What is wrong with them? A life has been lost and they seem to be in celebration. 16 years for killing someone? That is ridiculous. Laws need to be changed in favor of the victim and the family.

[@blakesleyk.7166]

Well, cops aren’t good at multitasking. Until press conferences. Where they pat themselves on backs, while high 5’ing, kissing each others ass & victim blaming “the public.” As if this Cops Oscar’s wasn’t disgusting enough he termed the “investigation” a “TEAM SPORT.” Delphi murders Oscar’s have gutted me.

I wouldnt want to answer any further questions either if I had made a deal for 16 years .. shame on you all for not doing better at a "deal" .. if it was YOUR family would you offer a deal of SIXTEEN years? You know nyou wouldnt and saying he will serve every single day DOES NOT justify 16 years. 16? Shame on you.

Why does it always have to be a plea deal? I just don’t understand. Maybe I don’t know all the details.

[@movingforwardfco1587]

Taking it to trial puts everyone though it and it cost lots for court, etc. Most cases never go to trial which is our right. The right of fair trial. So this is why you get people later in saying they were innocent and only admitted guilt due to pressure. Crazy how it all works. Best wishes. Prayers to family.

[@carenfarmer4794]

They do a plea deal to get him to confess, to get him to tell where the body is, and how it all happened. Otherwise, authorities couldn't prosecute. They had enough to "charge" him, but not e ought to convict. Thus the plea deal.

@@UrgetoRun I stated "missing person case." Until the husband confessed and her body was recovered this was a missing person case. It was not a murder case until the husband confessed, was charged, arraigned, entered a plea and plea was signed. Innocent until proven guilty or in this case confessed and all due process before you can technically call it a murder.

[@truthspeaker711]

@UrgetoRun PS You might want to be careful out there. I've been working a missing person case for two years in Sedona. Four others went missing out near the same place. None have been seen or heard from again. I don't understand runners, hikers, tourists and seekers that come to Sedona and Northern Arizona with a false sense of security that they believe it is safe to hike etc in the desert. Arizona has one of the highest number of missing persons in the United States. Flagstaff Police was transparent and kept the public informed. Unlike Yavapai county which is less than transparent in several cases. If I had a dollar for every time a local in Sedona said "What missing girl?" I have alot of money. I would be using the handle called Urg to OUTRUN particularly out FSR 525. Stay safe.
