Ellis only got 3 months ?  Are you outright lying or don't you know the facts of the case ?   Given the complete and total facts in the case---the one's the victim's friends steadfastly refused to accept--how could he or the judge have done anything different ? Should they have ignored the facts and just gone along with those who wanted the girl hung ?  Remember them---the one's protesting outside the courthouse before the trial began trying to influence it's outcome ?  The one's seeking revenge .  Justice was done in that case an it's an outrage anyone can hold that outcome against the DA and judge who clearly did they're jobs.
