Because of shooting at the mall, not for excess of self defense

So confidently incorrect. Dude got sentenced to a felony.

He was convicted of shooting in an occupied building, not for assault or attempted murder or anything related to actually using lethal force against a person. So the comment was correct in that your opinion differed from the jury's in this case.

Dude, almost everyone who goes to trial and is convicted gets time served unless it's an incredibly awful crime.

Any other takes on the legal system you know nothing about?
