The auto workers were arrested. Despite prior records of violence, they receive a sentence of 3 years probation and a $3,700 fine.

You're saying 3 guys with prior records received probation for beating someone to death? I have never heard of this... at the very least it has to be manslaughter (minimum, it should be second or first degree murder in this case I would think) which carries a minimum sentence at least here. You believe they received no jail time at all?
