Did you hear anything about sentencing?

We heard from a number of people that when there was somebody who was prosecuted for a murder, they got a very light sentence. A number of people said, “He got away with murder.” Did you hear anything like that when you spoke to people in B.C.? They said they were losing faith in the justice system because they thought the sentences weren't appropriate.
