I do not think that current sentencing adequately reflects the seriousness of these crimes and the impact they have on the lives of those who have lost family members. My brother's killer has to serve just 3 years and 3 months in prison. There needs to be proper justice for all victims and the families whose lives have been shattered by the unlawful killing of the loved ones.
