No disrespect but I'm wondering how you got "the judge should give a sentence according to what the victim thinks is appropriate" from my post
He suggested that he thought 15 years was too much for the crime. All I said was he might not feel the sentence was overkill had he been the victim (especially for crimes like burglary and stealing, where your home is damaged/messed up and you lose thousands worth of belongings like in that case)
I'm talking about the victim's satisfaction with whatever the sentence is, not the victim's feelings being a factor in sentencing
