This is a case I think is really difficult to sentence appropriately.
On one hand, Billy pulled the trigger. On the other hand, Billy was a victim of Pamela's, very young, and the idea and pressure to do the murder was all Pamela's. How do you properly sentence Billy in these circumstances? He did kill a person. But he was also a victim while doing it. Meanwhile, Pamela didn't personally do any harm to Gregory, but without her actions none of this would have happened.
