This is one of the most heartless stories I think I may have ever read. Leaves me wondering what kind of torture this man needs to be put through as his punishment for doing this to his grandfather.
Sorry, but how does post-facto punishment make the crime "equalize" itself? The current system is brutal and inefficient, all it means is "if I get caught.. I will get X jail time.. but the likelihood is low that I will get caught, so let's do it anyway."
