I dont understand how sentencing can be so variable. This guy gets minimum of 33 years and quite rightly so and others get much more lenient sentences and parole for crimes that are just as horrendous.

Time should be added on if they refuse to attend court.

How are these scumbags allowed to decide if they’ll attend court for sentencing or not? He’s the prisoner here and shouldn’t have a choice!🤬

33 years? I wondered why the sentence was so short. They'll probably let him out in 5 years.
@
What was she thinking...

33 years in jail is a joke. Should be life in jail.
