spending more than a decade in prison is hardly something to sneeze at.
Here, I would like to express my admiration for the American criminal justice system (never thought I would say such a thing).
Russia has no death penalty, and getting a life sentence is very difficult. Even if you get a life sentence, in most cases you are let out after 25 years for good behavior (even if you are a serial rapist/murderer).
In Russia, you could violently rape a child, and be out enjoying life in about 15 years (several factors have to align).
Meanwhile, in the United States they hand out life sentences (without possibility of parole), like candy.
I think, if you did something to a kid, killed more than 1 person (or even 1 person, but in some deranged manner), or committed a terrorist act - they should lock you up and throw away the keys.
One reason I was no big fan of Wagner.
