I highly doubt that. I'm not saying the justice system is consistent, because its obvioulsy not. But i think there are far fewer people guilty of this type of crime with long prison sentences that you want to beleive. I also think theres a difference between someone saying theyre sorry and someone who demonstrates true repentance by seeking to atone for their wrong in every way possible.
I'm not trying to deny the magnitute of what happened here - a man lost his life - but when i look at the mitigating circumstances in this case, and compare it to the type of scum that needs to be in a prison, i dont think theres a gross miscarriage of justice going on here. remember, justice isnt just about punishment. it involves mercy too.
