The article is misleading by suggesting the profession of the victim which has absolutely nothing to do with the case. This is clearly a case of love gone insane and violent. Now if tge victim were murdered in the "line of duty" say at the courthouse prosecuting a case, that would indeed call for an enhanced sentence. But this "new man in town" the subject of "lover's rage"? based on sentencing of other similar cases, he could receive a sentence as low as 20 years plus. However, the media bias shown here, this defendant is more likely to receive 99 years with no years suspended. Don't think I am partial to the defendant, because I'm a firm believer in the death penalty for murder.
