It does not make sense to me that a judge can sit on his or her throne and pass out cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all sentences when in reality each individual convict and case is different.
Also, serving time concurrently for multiple sentences is just plain stupid and demeans the rights of victims. That's something else I'd change if i were king.

but in this case why should she even be able to be released to resume her life? She ended the lives (or took part in) of three innocent people. You should have to pay for your actions 10, 20 or 30 years is not enough payment in my mind.
