What should be eligible for the death penalty?

Andy,

I am fine with the guy doing 7 years, but appaulled by the 20 yeas for the 7mm guy. If I read your post correctly, the 7mm guy was in the car that was being chased and hit and his brother got shot before he even opened fire. If you are telling me the guy with the handgun was still blasting when he was shot by the 7mm, I have no idea how the 7mm guy got 20 years. Luckily, he didn't get the death penalty. The fact that the 7mm guy got 20 years is my reason for being a little less hasty to dole out the death penalty.

In my case with the 4 time DWI guy, he got 5 years with all but 10 months suspended, and then he received 6 months of the 10 months on work release (i.e., home arrest), so he ended up doing all of 4 months in jail for almost killing my client and changing her life for quite a while.
