Was justice served?
Finally, one of these sickening people gets a huge sentence for cruelty. But was the sentence appropriate? Think not just about your sense of outrage when answering this question.
As an aside, I can't help but wonder how the sentence would be different if the victim were a different sort of person, but equally innocent, such as a gay adult, a man, a Muslim woman, a black teenager, anything. I wonder if it is right that the sentence depends on the victim instead of simply the crime. Justice is supposed to be blind, right?
