... and yet that girl who was raped by her family was given right back to the very people who assaulted her for years. Korea, Consistent!

I'm quite pleased with the verdict.

I'm just a little concerned at how a young boy receives a 10 year jail sentence. .... Even though he is liable for his crime because of his age, I just feel a bit strange that he will get out at the age of 28. He will miss a huge part of his prime. Of course, it doesn't matter, he did what he did. And pushished as he should be.

I think the boy's disorder came into factor as they decided how long his term would be. I can't say I highly disagree but I thought they would think to give a lighter sentence than a heavier one considering he has a "mental disability" (which is arguable).

ADHD is not a mental disability! In fact, during the hunter and gatherer days, it was probably highly advantageous to have ADHD.

Anyways, ADHD should not be used as an excuse for committing a crime. Nor is it a reason to given leniency.

On the other hand, in consideration of the bad parenting, a little bit of leniency might have been warranted.
