The kid shouldn't have gotten 20 years, but 10-years probation is just too pathetic...
Despite how misguided the kid is - his life shouldn't be ruined for a horrible and tragic mistake. The kid deserves 7-10 years without question, but you don't throw a 16-year-old away and throw away the key..... 7-10 years is a lot of time, especially when you're only 16.
Also, you have to remember that this stupidity was nothing more than a defense crafted by a lawyer - who knows how this kid feels (he looks like a prick in the pictures I've seen tho) and I know the media likes to sensationalize things...
Just remember that lawyers make their living lying, weather it's prosecution or defense and that the judge is a lawyer himself - and he was the one that sentenced the kid..
This case is so screwed up - and this clearly shows that the lying lawyers cannot use common sense.
