I think in this case it is obvious the punishment fits the crime, maybe it could and should have been more severe! I mean when your caught red handed with the life of someone on your hands, their blood on your hands, or sexual crime or or drug crime against someone (being a drug dealer or trafficer), these people caught RED HANDED, where there is NO SHADOW OF DOUBT, they were caught in the act, need the MOST OF SEVERE PUNISHMENTS POSSIBLE! This guy should be in a Stock on the main street with an unending bushel of apples about 15 feet away for people to pelt at his head for a few months instead of all that time in prison. Let them see his face and let people like him be publically humiliated and punished like that. I think that would deter crime more than sticking them in prison in most cases. Just like muslim countries, Shop lift, they cut off fingers, do it again and they cut off the whole hand! That is something to fear! If he didn't have hands, he couldn't drive very well ever again, or carry a gun! Rapists Need, well figure it out!
