While the man who mowed down Ashley McLean, 27, in Philadelphia, killing her, was sentenced to a mere 3.5 to 8 years in prison; a second individual is serving life without parole for the exact same offense. However, his case is riddled with holes and significant problems, such as a life sentence vs. 3.5 to 8 years. His name is Gary Gerber. His voice needs to be heard and his story should be told.
Is that the America we live in? Where the “right to a trial” comes with a taxation of life imprisonment? Gary should’ve been released on parole last year. Instead, since he opted for a trial, he’s forever doomed.
