Our justice system is a miserable failure

When it comes to protecting children, and especially sexually abused children, our system is disgusting.  A Quebec court of appeals has reduced a pedophile's sentance from 15 to 9 years because the crime wasn't violent enough to deserve the maximum.  Never mind that he'll only do maybe 5 years, the guy sexually assulted his own daughter for 2 years starting when she was 2.

When the court reduced that sentence on Tuesday, Côté cited the man's young age and the fact that he has only one other criminal conviction (for sexually assaulting another child when he was 17).

The prosecution's case was based on roughly 5,000 pictures and 5,000 videos found on the man's computer, some featuring very young children.

This story makes me want to throw up.   What's wrong with people?  A life sentance wouldn't have been too harsh for a guy like this.
