Wagner matriarch’s sentencing too lenient; deserves life in prison

-

I have just read with horror the Sept. 12 article “Another Wagner pleads in killing” regarding Angela Wagner who is to receive a 30-year sentence for helping “mastermind the deaths of eight people.”

Please, could someone explain to me how what she did is any different from what Charles Manson did in 1969 when he mastermind­ed the deaths of 5 people. I am not a believer in capital punishment but the least she deserved would be life in prison with no possibilit­y of parole.

She (allegedly) gave birth to, nurtured, and encouraged her two sons (and husband) to brutally murder the family of her grandchild. She and the rest of her family are despicable and do not deserve to ever see the outside of prison.
