I'm a law and order guy but this is bullshit. The sentence is way out of line. Do Texas taxpayers know how much it'll cost to keep this kid locked up for 8 fucking years? For tagging?!Are judges elected in Texas? She looks to me like she's grandstanding. I'd be shocked if an appeal didn't lower the sentence.

6 months in county, with any time served, restitution [he probably has no $] and probation. That's would be an appropriate sentence
