I really do believe our justice system needs a serious overhaul. I've read about people who commit multiple murders receiving a relatively light sentence and someone who didn't actually commit a murder being sentenced to life and in rare occasions even death.
In the Saturday edition of the News and Record there are two stories of crime. Each crime is similar.
In each situation a couple was robbed a with a weapon of their rings.
In one case, one man, with a knife, robbed a couple of their rings. That man was charged with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of communicating threats, one count of assualt with a dangerous weapon causing bodily injury and one count of assualt on a female. He is on a $50,000 bond.
The two men in the second robbery hurt no one and have been charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and were placed on a $100,000 bond.
Maybe the difference is the conspiracy part but I would rather not be cut in the face while being robbed. I consider the first robber to be much more dangerous.
