Dorsey Corcoran, a little child was murdered by his stepfather around 1957 with a hammer. But this stepfather was convicted and punished to jail between 2 and 10 years. He was on 9th year put in freedom.
Well, is it this not too soft!!!!?
Was it like this in the USA in 1957? I interpret that the judge meant it was half and accident half a murder or something like that. Maybe the justice thought it is normal to beat children and that case had something of unfortunate.
Or, was this too low punishment due to the evil reigning in Derry?
I think this does not match with the specially hard approach of the American justice. There has always been the electric chair and the gas chamber and today there is the lethal injection. So I don't find that story realistic for the United States.
