Skewed sentences: Life "fondling minor" -50yrs murder -10 yrs incest w 17yr old

[revelarts]

This is just one of those curiosities of the current justice system.

In Nevada.
the sentence for fondling a minor (under 14) is mandatory Life in prison. in the clip below a woman who was drunk had a boy put his hand on her breast. she got life in prison possible parole in 10 years.

In the same state the lawyer says that 1st degree murder minimum sentence is 50 years.
2nd degree murder minimum is 25 years.

So Ok there's that.
Now look at this case. A former Nevada police captain admits to the judge that
“I entered into an act of fornication with a relative,”
He fails to mention that she was 17 years old. His Daughter.
And that he video taped it for sale on the internet.

So he gets his due,
"District Judge Nancy Porter sentenced Hughes, 41, to life in prison for incest. He will be eligible for parole review after two years and he was credited 86 days for time served...

Porter, bound by statute to sentence Hughes to life in prison for incest with parole eligibility after two years, had the option of suspending the sentence and giving the defendant probation."

The option wasn't available in the Woman's case.
Sentence was handed down in the same room.
