that is a draconian punishment for an obscene crime. i’m not saying it doesn’t fit, but damn. only times i see judges give sentences beyond 20 is when the defendant goes out of their way to piss off the judge.
just committing this crime is enough to piss me off, which is reason alpha i don’t have the temperament to be a judge, but the extreme sentence gives me the feeling perpetrator must have been intransigent, incorrigible, showed no recognizance or remorse, stuff like that throughout the entire trial. Had a lawyer who repeatedly (to the point it appeared intentional) ignored court rules and procedures. represented himself. sovcit bullshit. stuff like that.
