        Because this country has no backbone, the Bakers should both be put away for life (the rest of their life)

        Here! They both should've gotten life. She is just as guilty as he is. Vile creatures the pair of them.

        Funny how women still don't get the same sentences as their male counterparts. Equal rights my arse. Both should be hung.

        Men and women should be treated equally, especially in this case. Give them both life sentences.

        Not nearly a tough enough sentence. The community needs to step up and intensely shame these people.
