So if you go at their replies with this in mind, it all makes sense.
Edit: So remorseful it took him a whole day to turn himself in and was actively trying to leave the city. So remorseful, he denied culpability until his trial. So remorseful he already had outstanding warrants. Ya, he was on the right path.

According to the post of MBates he turned himself in the same day.
I'd also be curious what time of warrant? Witness warrant? Endorced? Unendordced? Were they being held?
There is a range of seriousness of warrants just as there is with charges.
Level of involvement and culpability varies. Sentencing us an art not a science. No two cases are alike.
You have to take all factors into consideration, both aggravating and mitigating.
In the case at hand, a police officer was killed in the line of duty. That's an incredibly aggravating factor, getting in the car as a passenger is not.
The passenger was, according to the judge "he was "at no time the direct operator" of the SUV and his "movements were reactionary.""
That's not the threshold for murder.
