Did the judge even consider that the 10-year-old boy will be messed up in the head for life? Perhaps this boy will end up becoming a rapist or serial killer himself.
I don't know why the sentence was reduced since these Muslims are used to draconian punishments. I'm sure back home he would have been hung, if not by the courts then the people would do so. I say keep him locked up for life as a dangerous offender.
