Our justice system is awesome, isn’t it?

=________________________=

Anybody feel free to correct me if I’m wrong or state faulty information at any point, but first and foremost the name of the man in the picture above is not Miguel “Carano” But Miguel “Caracaño.” Second, the murder of Marta Del Castillo did not even occur in the United States, but rather in Seville, Spain. So where is the justice system of the U.S relevant to him?

From what I know about Kim Schmitz, the United States is currently attempting to extradite him from New Zealand where he will be held in custody until some time around February because the extradition papers are yet to be filed. U.S Athorities arrested Schmitz on Friday, the 20th of January, and the Extradition treaty of 1970 between the U.S and New Zealand gives the U.S. 45 days from the time of his arrest to request extradition.

Therefore it isn’t possible for him to have an exact sentence because his case was yet to even be tried in America. Or so, that is my understanding.

All of those leaving notes about the “American Justice System” learn a thing or two about it before you can belittle it with your ignorance. Also, if you can’t keep up with your current events, you surely spend too much time feeding off of faulty sources like tumblr.

As far as I can tell you’re correct, Schmitz has yet to be formally tried and convicted, let alone sentenced to 50 years. Could he get 50 years? Quite possibly. Is the U.S. justice system deeply flawed when it comes to meeting out severe sentences for comparatively misdemeanor crimes? Yes, absolutely, but it is not alone. 

It’s unfair to compare between two different justice systems. Any comments?
