This gets you a LIFE sentence?

A Twin Falls woman convicted of forcing a 13-year-old boy to touch her breasts was sentenced Monday to life in prison.

...

She is getting a greater penalty for having a boy touch her breast than if she killed him,” she said.

After he sentenced her, Memeo said he was bound by state statute to impose the life sentence, but said he isn’t sure why the prosecution chose to charge her under that statute.


If a male Republican Bushite had done something similar?

I think she deserves punishment for inappropriate behavior. She definitely belongs on the sex offenders registry, "foggy memory" or not. But life in prison?

No fucking way.
