Can someone explain this to me please?

Rob a bank no one gets killed and get 12 years in prison.

Murder your defenseless 5 month old baby by drowning and get 5 years in prison.

Worst part is if she had killed the baby 5 months earlier she would still be walking the streets. Hell he lawyer should have just said it was a really "late term abortion" and she would have walked.

But back to my original thought how could the judge only give her 5 years when the case involved a child being murdered. This was not an accident or a manslaughter case it was premeditated murder pure and simple.

Is there any branch of government that is not fraked up?
