    “He faces one to 10 years in prison.”
    What the?, that’s hardly a deterrent for killing someone. It’s more of an excuse to murder someone, 1 to 10 is a vacation!

    Every time 2 people are alone and a fight occurs and one person dies, it’s not a murder. Very possible the provoked motive was self defense. On thing is for sure, you don’t know and your comments are ignorant.
