No Death Penalty for Taylor's Killers; Fifth Suspect Charged; Suspect Pleads Guilty

So Hunte got 29 years. I know people want his head and rightly so, but I think that's a pretty stiff sentence. Remember, Hunte has cooperated with police, will cooperate with the prosecutors, he did not enter the house, supposedly didn't know his friend was carrying a gun, and thought he was burglarizing an empty home. 29 years is a long time to spend in prison for sitting in a car during a botched burglary of what he thought was an empty house. I wouldn't say it's too stiff, but it's not exactly a light sentence either.

See, I don't think this is right. The guy didn't enter the home and he didn't shoot anyone. 29 years??? I'd be ok with him getting 5 years.
