| I'm sorry. This sentence seems light considering the nature of the crime. Story. |

Maybe the "difference" in this sentence and the Peterson sentence is that Hacking has come out and said, "I'm sorry." 
To me, there is far more evidence of Hackings heinous murder of his wife, including an admission, than there was for Peterson. Saying you're sorry, after all he did to hide his crime, just doesn't cut it with me.

| I don't get it either! He not only admitted it, but they had forensic proof, unlike Peterson's. Maybe it's the difference in Utah and CA. |

| It would of been life, no parole in Texas where justice is (almost always) swift and the punishment h*ll. |

Hacking Gets 6 Years to Life for Murder
By PAUL FOY, Associated Press Writer
Monday, June 6, 2005
| Quote: | ~snip
Judge Denise Lindberg listened to nearly two hours of emotional testimony before handing down the only sentence she could under Utah law. She said only the parole board could determine how long Hacking will ultimately stay in prison, but that she will recommend that he be held "a very long time."
~snip
Under Utah's system of indeterminate criminal sentences, first-degree murder brings a mandatory five years to life, but Hacking's minimum will be increased to six years because he used a firearm. The judge can only impose the broad range of sentence, leaving it up to Utah's Board of Pardons and Parole to decide when or if Hacking will ever be set free. |

Yes it is the Utah Law and it was out of the judges hands. What I would like to know with the verdict being six years to life, does that mean he will be up for parole in twenty-five years?
