This is pretty harsh this kid is an idiot but he wasn't acting maliciously. I think he should be let out lot sooner and hopefully he will be, but he needs to pay for the crime he committed the. It would also be kind of great if he gets raided once or twice a year for a while at random times during the year but that would probably get ruled as strange and unusual punishment.

Yes if your goal is to kill a person, his goal was just to fuck with somebody though he didn't want anybody dead. Like I said he's just an idiot not a murderer, it might haave been malicious but not "i'm going to kill you!" malicious. He should serve some time and probably some community service, maybe washing squad cars or something but being locked up till he's 40? That's to harsh and is a good way to get this kind into one of the great prison trades like drug peddling, he going to leave the prison system with nowhere to go and no future, and then somebody WILL end up dead over this.
