When judges give sentences like 5yrs, it sounds like they are being tough on crime!
We all know there's a going rate for crimes!! Why not tell the truth, and give the real length in prison time someones going to do for it? I bet it's because Joe public would find out how light the terms are! and would demand tougher sentences!!
I'd like more Judges to come from the "real world" and have a clue as to what it's like to have been a victim of crime!! Victims seem to be the least thought of when it comes to the justice system!
