    Honestly 10 years feels like roughly the right amount of time, assuming it’s actually 10 years in prison and not 18 months in a celebrity daycamp.

    People change a lot in prison. Even a year or two. 10 years of prison later he will be a very very very different person, and I don’t think an additional 5+ years would really make much of a difference.

      I was reading that in the UK this translates to 5 years before being eligible for parole.

      Which is still a lot for someone who is used to the lifestyle / comfort that Brand had.

      I personally feel like 10 full years in prison isn’t enough, but I’m not a judge. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      I was more meaning that there are other cases coming. But yeah, the sentence seems… sentencing is difficult. Can any time truly make up for violent crimes? But yet there must be serious consequences.
