          @BBCBreaking the prosecutor is absolutely right. IMHO he should have a life sentence, serving a minimum of 20 years!

          @BBCBreaking I'd agree. 15 years would be a shockingly underwhelming sentence.

          @BBCBreaking I also agree with the prosecutor. A dangerous president would be set if someone takes a life and doesn't get jail time.
