Really? I think it's a bit much. I mean, I know he won't serve the whole thing, but given the state of our prisons and, more importantly, the state of our CPS, I think I'd rather he did a community sentence and the money spent on incaceration went on something more productive. I think in this case a criminal record is probably a fairly hefty deterrent.
I'm going to see if I can find out why he got such a weighty sentence.
