I just watched the Writing on the Walls episode. How did Joel White only get 35 years in prison? He's eligible for parole in 2031 which is only 5 years away. I thought Texas was supposed to be tough on crime. He murders someone and then fires on the police during a 7 hour standoff. I honestly don't understand the sentencing of some of these cases. I know he pleaded guilty but it seems like a really light sentence for someone so dangerous.
