LETTERS: DISPARITY IN SENTENCING RAISES QUESTIONS

To the editor:

One young man breaks a levee and is given life in prison. Another group of young men brutally kills a human being in a senseless, illegal activity. At most, they serve a month or two in jail. It seem the judge was apologizing for a three-month sentence for one and might shorten the sentence if it was too much of an inconvenience.

I'd say the moral of the story it that it's not too bad to kill if it's done in a pack, but don't fool with a levee.
