The justice system is always softer on females.

In my opinion , she should be charged the same as Laffer. She may not have known he was going to kill those poor people , but she , later , knew that he had and she didn't call the police. I'd be willing to bet that the mother knew too and also kept her mouth shut.

And a plea is a deal worked out between the prosecution and the defense in lieu of a trial for the benefit of the defense. Lets not be ignorant.

Haha, ok pal. My reading comprehension is just fine, maybe you should reexamine your logical reasoning skills if you think mentioning what other states would have done has any relevance to what happened here. Fact is- Laffer got the harshest sentence available. How did that benefit the defense in any possible way?

Yes. He shot them in cold blood. There was no resistance from the victims. He could have just taken what he came for and left. Awful, awful story. I hope he gets beat down every day in prison.

They don't deserve to make any deals.

Mr. Laffer, 33, faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, and prosecutors plan to ask Judge James C. Hudson of Suffolk County Court,
to impose four consecutive sentences of life without parole. A fifth life sentence, for committing multiple killings as part of the same crime, would
be served concurrently, as would 25-year sentences for four counts of criminal use of a firearm, which he also pleaded guilty to.

So, where do we see Mr. Laffer making ANY deal with the prosecutor, most especially when he has no bargaining chips, no possible defense
and nothing to mitigate his actions? Laffer knows that NY does not have a death penalty, so he's not going to be executed, a condition that he
might've been eager to avoid by entering his guilty plea, hoping for leniency, so perhaps you will be able to point out this "plea bargain", or "deal",
that you seem to feel that our "gutless" prosecutor offered him?

Would you care to educate us boobs who seem to have missed your plea bargain point?
