He deserves the years in prison but the family of the dead child deserve justice as well. They deserve to hear that the man who killed their son, brother, nephew was guilty of that crime. How the jury couldn't decide on this issue is beyond me. Sounds like the judge wasn't too happy about it, either.
You are not the odd man out here. I completely agree. Unfortunately, the state overcharged him with murder. They should have charged him with manslaughter which likely would have resulted in a guilty verdict.
