Oops! My bad.

by Terry 14 September 2008


Violate a protection order and strangle a woman?

Claim it was an accident and that the goal was to knock her unconscious with a “sleeper hold.”

Sentence: 5 years.

Selling an ounce of marijuana will get you more time than that.

Ergo, it’s worse to get someone high than to kill a woman.

Times like this I’m ashamed to live in Washington State.

    I would argue that the marijuana sentence is the one that’s grossly out of whack, except that violating the protection order ought to have moved it up from manslaughter to murder. I would also argue that the guy deserved extra time for bringing his son along….  (Quote)

    I agree completely, A. Another thing to consider is that strangling isn’t an accident. It’s a long, painful way to die, and you have to really work at it to kill someone that way.

    And to bring his kid along …. Yeah.  (Quote)
