    However I do know, never having been a Judge or a lawyer, that those professions, have years and years and years of education, designed to allow them to arrive at the best conclusions.
    While I agree that we don't have all the facts - the defendant wasn't cooperative, there is a level of potential harm that still exists from other firearms that could have been diverted and - to quote the article: "Two people were killed and 10 others injured".....and home detention is meted out as punishment? Really?
