minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up41·2 months agoThanks for the context but a court shouldn’t be considering things they haven’t been convicted for unless it’s part of the matter before the court. Also it doesn’t matter if the police shooting was justified. Charging this guy with the police shooting is, and always has been, fucked up. 65 years is 3 life sentences in the normal world. That’s not a normal sentence for burglary outside authoritarian countries.
