Oscar Pistorius: Six Years Jail for Reeva Steenkamp Murder - Us Weekly

I don't necessarily agree with the short sentence, but it just goes to show how seriously the judicial system in other countries takes the incarceration of criminal defendants. In the United States judges hand out years like it were candy. Not right.

For example in Sweden, a sentence of even six months or a year is taken very seriously and only for quite serious offenses. The taking away of someone's liberty for any length of time should be looked upon gravely.
