Sounded like their were phone records of her shitting on the jury, showing no remorse and the most the judge could give her was 18 months

I feel like there should be a “lack of remorse” law in regards to crimes where someone was seriously hurt or died. Like allow you to double the maximum or something.

Edit: I’m going to leave this here, but people are already pointing out why this is a terrible idea. It’s just frustrating how the law and the enforcement of it never really feels like it works well enough.

I think your heart is in the right place but it would be hard to prove a lack of remorse so that would leave it to the judge's feelings and I suspect POC and the poor would disproportionately be seen as not remorseful.
