Yeah, it's one of the longer sentences I've heard of here. He should be up for parole in 2076.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I'm not shedding any tears. They need to also make a few examples out of the purse snatchers.

I am not shedding any tears but as long as the connected can get away with murder, this seems a little harsh.

Agree. Even the unconnected usually only get '25 to life ' for chopping off heads with axes and equivalent horrors.
Presiding judge Chea Chandeth said Mr. Samnang had been convicted of 13 counts of “theft with aggravating circumstances” under articles 353 and 357 of the Criminal Code.
Another mystery of the justice system. But he's appealing, so might get his sentence reduced to under 100 years if he has a good lawyer. :thumb:

True, but we all know the connected won't ever get prosecuted unless there's a change in government.
