The extreme brutality of the attack and the age of the victim also were factors in favor of a long sentence.
If it was you or me the sentence would be much shorter. Especially near SF.
The Pelosi’s are “special”.
You or me are not second in line to the presidency, and that who he was there to kill.
Right now they’re making an example of him.

How do you feel about hinckley beng out of jail?

I am okay with Hinckley. After all, Reagan was wounded, not killed. And, he wasn’t in jail, but an institution.
Sirhan: I wouldn’t object, provided he has been behaving himself. 50 years for a single murder seems more than sufficient.

paul pelosi was wounded not killed, and maybe depape should be in an institution.

It wasn’t just “a single murder.” He robbed the entire nation of chance to freely choose their preferred elected leader.
Yeah, well 50 years seems sufficient for that, too

You might be right that Depape should be in an “institution.”
But those sorts of “institutions” are generally worse than prison, in the long run.
