I agree with Christopher Williams. Mykel wouldn't do this purposefully. His flight was a mistake made in sheer panic, and he did in the end turn himself in, which does count for something. 25 years in prison is ridiculous and not going to happen. Are we as a society interested in really rehabilitating people, or are we simply seeking revenge? Mykel is a good person who has a lot to offer, and he shouldn't be separated from society for anything close to that length of time. At the same time, my sympathies to the family of the victim.
