This thread bounces back and forth between discussion of the guilt or innocence of Mr. Bird and the mandatory sentencing law.
After reading through the trial transcripts, I have lots and lots of questions about the event which I am sure the jury also had, and brought up and discussed. I can see how they would have come to their verdict.
I believe there is a solid reason for mandatory sentencing that works in 98% of all cases but there should be some board review for those other 2%.
