>> had to be a lazy or incompetent prosecutor.....that's who should get the blame along with the shooter.

In this instance, perhaps. But it is a problem that our prisons are packed with drug criminals, many of whom are nonviolent offenders, leaving no room for people who should be kept off the streets.

It is insanity that a man can receive a mandatory life sentence for selling marijuana or hash, yet hammer-killers can walk free in 17 years.

The guy who killed my brother -- a drunk hit-and-run driver who might have saved Mike's life had he not backed over him and left him to die in a ditch -- was released after two years of a 10 year sentence. A month ago the man was charged with intentionally ramming a car in a parking lot.

Our priorities are totally screwed up.
