22.5 years in prison for what was an extremely careless and possibly downright evil act, but almost certainly not intentional murder, is way excessive to my mind. I'm not sure why liberals who usually believe in criminal justice and is against excessive punitive measures should be celebrating this.
I would have been fine with a sentence of a few years in prison. That would seem appropriate to me.
Come again?
22.5 years is proportionate, not excessive. Excessive would be life in prison or the death penalty.
