Re: 2 Vietnamese Appeal 8 Year Sentence for Beating Sex Worker to Death
Not sure how the justice system works here but if convicted of beating someone to death, 8 years seems pretty lenient.
Why would you appeal against that?
Is there a danger your sentence might be increased? Based on the evidence we have here, I'd say double that was fairer.

Re: 2 Vietnamese Appeal 8 Year Sentence for Beating Sex Worker to Death
Agreed, an 8 year sentence for that is way too lenient.
Common knowledge that the justice system in Cambodia is out of whack, but I think it’s madness when these kinds of crimes get 8 years when drug sentences can often be 25 years+

In the appeal they should go "You're right! 8 years was not the right number, how about 25-life"
