@@al-rediphfirst degree murder should always at minimum be life in prison, you took the life of another human being, why should you deserve to have one?

[@al-rediph]

​@@nicoly075 15 years to life is the same as life in prison in many countries. Everybody deserves to live and justice is not the same as revenge. So how about speeding? Thought experiment: Rebecca Grossman is being stopped by the police before she would have killed the children. In most jurisdictions, there is no difference between murder and attempted murder. So in this case, the police would have to charge her with second degree murder (attempted) and she would get the same sentence, 15 years to life. Or, based on your reasoning, maybe life in prison (no parole) because she does not deserve to have a life. So speeding could and should land you in prison for life, because you know you could kill somebody. Is now clear how big of a stretch this sentence was? Maybe correct and just, but neverthless a stretch. Again, I'm not claiming the sentence Rebecca Grossman got is too high. But is definitely not too low and the justice system was stretched as far as possible to accommodate a sentence that more people may feel more appropriate for the death of two children. If this is not enough, than nothing will be.

[@nicoly075]

@@al-rediph i understand where your coming from- but speeding and murder is different. Grossman was intoxicated and racing with her partner, with zero care or remorse, that should play into her sentencing, speeding is different? it depends on so many factors, wether their is remorse, wether there were people around, or if they were on empty streets, ect. which could lead into attempted murder which i would agree with my previous comment on the punishment, someone who was speeding very little to get their labouring wife to hospital for example would not get the same sentencing, thats common sense.

[@al-rediph]

@@nicoly075 She was not charged with DUI. Speeding is what remains. And the "racing" part. Which I find quite interesting because there was a case in Germany where somebody killed a person while racing. He got life in prison (15 years) and his race partner got 13 years. I can follow the sentence. Nevertheless, I think people put too much attention on "remorse". She can't admit guilt without compromising her defence, and is this is ok. Remorse will play a role on her parole hearing. Not now. I find the second degree murder sentence (15 years) fair and enough.

Grossman is now 61 years old. If she even does the absolute minimum of 15 years she will be 76 years old before she would be eligible for parole. The California Board of Pardons is VERY unlikely to let her out at 15 years regardless of Good Behavior etc. So that means that she will likely be in her 80's before being released. I agree this should be a Life Sentence, but with her age and The Board of Pardons figured in, it most likely will be.
