Sometime the justice system baffles me. I get beat over the head and the perp with a good lawyer gets no time and since he stayed out of trouble for one whole year has no record.
Well, today I read that "Millville police Sgt. Robert E. Vanaman killed his wife during a heated argument over their crumbling marriage, then cut himself with a knife blade in an attempt to fool detectives into thinking she attacked him before he shot her twice."
He gets 11 years and several months but ONLY has to serve two-thirds of the sentance. He then be on probation for 5 years. I must admit I agree with the fourm comment below
"Why why why is he allowed out on bail? He is a murderer and he finally admitted what we knew and what the jury would have known. I can't believe this. Is this our justice system when the judge allows a murderer to walk the streets? One with a temper? What is wrong here? All of it. For him to be charged several months after he murdered his wife, to be a free man for 3 years and now is still free. To the judge in this case go back into retirement as you have failed along with the prosecutor.

As a condition of his plea, he must serve a minimum of 85-percent of his sentence, not two thirds.
You are right, though, even 85-percent is still a travesty.
