It appears that the defence intends to appeal the judge's sentence, Battis said.

Sounds pretty lenient to me.

Drapeau comes across as a jackass and an idiot. I think he got what he deserved and I wouldnt be suprised if he served 2 years in a military prison and 2 in a federal one.

Wow, I rarely listen to Michel Drapeau drone on but I made the exception and listened to him weigh in. Thats 3 minutes of my life that I'm not getting back.

I agree with that.

It's a manslaughter charge. A standard sentence, even on the ‘planet civilian’.
Plus a dis-honourable discharge. This guy wanted to stay in, the verdict will hurt him.

Time plus discharge is a reasonable result.

What more should he have got? He shot his best mate.

Sounds reasonable. From what I understand, it was a "game" gone wrong, not an intentional act or even act of passion.
