Sentance Made Me Mad and the Prosecutor was a Joke!!


This movie kind of ticked me off. I watched enough crime shows to know the Prosecutor has FULL DISCRETION over a plea bargain as long as the victim agrees. Once she saw Haley wasn't going to go for Life and said she thought they'd get a yr or something in Juvie the it was the Prosecutor's job to make that offer as a baseline and maybe start with 3 or 4 years and try and plea it down to 6 months or a 1 yr. But her attitude that it was LIFE or nothing was ridiculous. Those girls deserved some sort of jail time, they showed zero remorse, Ashley even threatened her in the police station. What kind of nonsense was that?

And really the people posting on here acting all tough, saying she was a wimp for not fighting back. Did we watch the same movie? The girl was jumped and sucker punched, what part of that don't people get? Or do you all think that somehow movies like The Raid, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, etc. movies are REAL? That you can get sucker punched and jumped on by 5 people and miraculously recover your senses enough and have the fighting ability to just gracefully, easily take out 5 or 10 people?

Kristen's father really pissed me off, his comment about she should have taken her beating and that you talk crap about people, be prepared to back it up? What kind of parenting is that? And the judge fines the girl $2,000 for literally beating someone to death? At the very least they should have hit them with a fine that was so big that the girls wouldn't profit from the crime - like they already did with the YouTube Video and TV Stations paying for interviews. Yet, "You owe her $2k?"

This movie just actively pissed me off. It's been awhile since a dumb movie like this made me mad.

Well the girl wasn't the one that didn't want to press charges. She could have sued that family for every dollar to their name and won. I understand not wanting to ruin someone's life but they need to pay for their crimes.
