Doesn’t Add Up

Jeffrey A. Asbury:
Crime: Hopped up on coke, killed wife in Fox Lake’s unstaffed police station.
Sentence: 30 years in prison with extended supervision thereafter. (He’ll be 70 when his sentence is up, but he may get out early).

Ezequiel Lopez-Quintero:
Crime: Hopped up on coke and tequila, killed Kenosha deputy, Frank Fabiano, in cold blood.
Sentence: Life without parole.

Asbury should have received the same sentence as Lopez-Quintero. He has no business getting back out on the streets - even if somehow he serves the full sentence (does anybody actually serve the full term of their sentence these days?).

    It adds up when you realize that our criminal justice system values some lives more than others. That’s why pretty much every state has some statute which makes killing a police officer a more serious kind of murder compared to killing a loved one.

    Same goes for hate crimes… killing or beating a person of a certain race/gender/sexual orientation/hair style will get you more time than killing… well… me for example.

    I’m not saying it’s right… just thats the way it is. The people in this country have decided democratically that Asbury’s wife’s life was simply less valuable than the Kenosha deputy.

    I suppose you’re right, Nick. After all, Jessica Kasten only got probation for killing her son:

    Jessica Kasten could have gone to prison for 15 years for neglecting her baby boy while she slept off a methamphetamine high in Wausau, allowing the child to die by asphyxiation.

    She could have spent today, the first anniversary of 6-month-old Gavin’s death, behind bars.

    Nope… she got 10 years probation.

    That reminds me… I’m going to write about this.
