5 years see the difference between us and famous or rich people, if I committed this crime I would be sentenced most likely life time!

He'll be out in less than 3years anyways that's how it is when you have status in THE USA.

@valkyrie244, Why do you feel the need to make this into a racial issue? You can find legitimate ways to criticize and condemn the person with out racially disparaging him

@dreampilot2, I AM PISSED, MAN, THEY JUST KEEP ON TREATING THESE RICH BASTARDS LIKE THERE SPECIAL, MAKES ME SICK!!!! we really have to do something about these FUCKED UP JUDGES!!!!!

If you unintentionally kill someone and then try to cover it up and blame it on the victim; I find the cover up and the blame more serious, despicable and totally intolerable than the killing of the person. To `Make it look like the victim had shot himself` is even more devilish, exceedingly repugnant. If of course the media is right on this story

@BeantownJim I work as a NJ Correction Officer the media is wrong saying he will serve 18 months.He's got to do 85% of his sentence. Thats the law in NJ
