          .@BBCBreaking Community service "shockingly disproportionate," but just 10yrs for deliberate murder is a-okay? Women's lives not worth much,

          @EileenBresnahan @BBCBreaking if he had killed some random man this wouldn't even be in the news. So that comment is inaccurate

          @EileenBresnahan @BBCBreaking no one would be talking period. Only because it's a woman/fiancé why this is such a high profile case

          @pinkswan EXACTLY! An utter farce, what with his lawyer saying "the *accused* has become the victim". His lack of humanity blows me away.
