I want people to read this news:

http://www.nepalnews.com/main/index.php/news-archive/19-general/409-three-nepalis-jailed-in-uk-for-manslaughter-violent-disorder.html

and compare 70-250 years sentence to Ajay. (I understand that the verdict of jury means Ajay may get 70-250 years in jail, but judge decides about it.)

Here are my thoughts:

1. Which crime is more severe? Can we even compare crimes?

2. Is UK soft on crime or is US tough on crime? Is US now a safer place? What is the fundamental difference in UK and USA that results in such a difference in crime? Would american jury member who sat on Ajay's jury have given similar sentence to those men in that crime?

3. Why is there are about 700 per 1 00 000 people in jail in USA while 100+ in the rest of the world? Are americans more criminals? Are american juries tougher?
