The Ten-Year Sentence and Public Outrage

The jury sentenced Amber Guyger to ten years in prison, a decision that was met with immediate rage from protesters who felt the punishment was too lenient for a murder conviction. The hosts describe the sentence as a "kick in the balls" to those who expected a much longer term. They discuss the tension between the legal definition of justice and the emotional demand for retribution in the wake of such a tragedy.
