The punishment seems right to me IMO. I think by sentencing him to life with no parole until 10 years, the judge was stating that while what he did was legally wrong, you had your reasons and if you are on good behavior, you can be out in 10 (probably less). Sad case though, I don't blame the guy at all for doing what he did. The real travesty is that the father was allowed to get away with it for so long. He deserved his fate.
