What’s wrong with this sentence: Kidnap a teenager, beat him, kill him by pushing him out of a jeep, get 5-1/2 years

News from Israel. Border police (Magav) officers who kidnapped and then murdered a 17-year-old Palestinian got off with light sentences, 8-1/2 years, 5-1/2 years.

(Compare with the news piece on the capture of the Palestinian who has apparently admitted killing a 13-year-old Jewish boy living in the Bat Ayin settlement. The boy's family is demanding a death sentence. It is likely that he will receive a life sentence.) — Ori Folger
