Yep. 30 years for more or less (probably more) just following a guy in your truck. That’s not proportional. I get it, a guy was killed. But the guy who killed him is already going to prison. It’s basically just guilt by association.A mandatory life sentence and no parole for at least 30 years (judge can sentence higher than 30 for parole eligibility), is really steep for unintentionally causing a death.
I get the point of felony murder but it’s application is so broad, and at least in GA, the punishment so high, as to not be reasonable. I mean what’s the punishment for aggravated assault, 5-20 years, right? That seems much more in line with his actual conduct, no?
