Why did Marty get death and not Donny?


And why did Ali get 40 years?

Donny talked. Because he did stab Bobby like twenty times, they had to give him serious time. But he avoided the life sentence by talking. Pretty obvious, actually.

And Ali? Why did she get 40 years? She had very little to do with it.

She lured him to his death. She's part of the conspiracy. So she's as guilty as the ones who actually murdered him. She could have gotten the death penalty, she got off lucky.

They are all out of jail now, actually for a long time now. Lisa got out in 2004. Marty isn't on death row anymore either, he is sitting pretty in gen pop for the rest of his life now.. And we're all paying for it.

reply

Very interested in this film, and real life events. These kids were disgusting, but even more disgusting was the downgrading of their sentences. I'm shocked to hear that Lisa was released.

guy killed was rapist/bully

Lisa was terrorized and savagely raped by Bobby Kent and she was not right in the head. I m sure if somebody beat you up an weightlifting belt and then he and his friends double-team you.

Yeah so obvious. The movie explained this in detail!

Well, Marty apparently gave the most fatal stabs. I don't recall if that meant anything for his sentencing.

If you treat a girl like a dog, she's going to piss on you

reply

I think I read somewhere a while back that her sentence was due to perjury, or her lieing during the trial.

bobby kent did deserve to die. he cockblocked marty when that hot blonde was interested in him

reply

was she blonde? I'll have to watch it again, I thought hot dark-looking brunette, I recalled her as..anyway,yeah, she was easily best looker in movie..in fact, she kicked the rests asses..

reply

Natalie Paulding is hot too

reply

who was she ?

reply

I think it was considered more heinous in Marty's case because he knew Bobby for years and was his best friend up until murdering him.

Personally, I don't know what's worse; somebody murdering a life-long friend in cold blood or somebody happily agreeing to take part in the murder of someone they've never met.

reply

Not really cold blood since Bobby deserved it.

reasons i can think of

1.Puccio , more deep in the conspiracy. Puccio and Connelly are the ones who actually have an interest and stake in this entire project. Who is Kent to Semenec?He has barely met him...ok, word is that Kent has raped and/or roughed up the chick Donny is following around like a Maltese Shiatsu X..
But that Kent/Willis incident was never the main driver here..it is the Kent/Puccio/Connelly triangle that says Kent has to go.

2.Donny Semenec is suspected of being a simpleton or actually brain-damaged from being continually fried, is the type likely to go along with ANYTHING his peer group tell him to do...especially a popular girl who is giving him sex..

3. Puccio inflicted lethal wounds, Semenec was so all-round incompetent a clown at it that his stab wounds were @1" deep and superficial, they did not even fell Kent but seemed to mostly annoy and scare him.

Puccio sank the scuba knife into his abdomen, and twisted it, so that 6" of Kent's intestine popped out with it...then while sitting on his chest after he had fallen, he maybe gave him two or three more down into the chest...but his piece de resistance was slitting his throat deep almost ear to ear, half friggen decapitated him..chances are he was already done, already either dead or mortally injured, even though Kaufman then did the number on him with the alu baseball bat.

when Puccio got rolling with that Mike Nelson knife, he was not playing , obviously once Semenec had lit the fuse on the action, Puccio's intent was fully to kill ie murder.

If it was left to the idiot Semenec, Kent would have walked out of there that night, gone to the ER and got some stitches in his back and neck.
