I don’t think a comparison to a case in England makes sense for us in USA.
You seem to imply that Ms. Rowe deserves 6 years in prison because that was the English woman’s punishment.
All I’m saying that is that you can’t just compare similar crimes and punishments. The life, identity, resources of the perpetrator make a huge difference in the punishment, or outcome of justice.[/quote]
I didn’t imply that Rowe deserves 6 years because that’s what the English woman got. Rowe deserves 6 years and more because she committed a crime that deserves a 6-year term and more. As does the English woman.
Are you saying that the perpetrator’s resources etc. should result in a different punishment or that they generally do result in a different punishment?
