"It seems to make sense. The stolen pumpkins weren't worth much, so it's unlikely they'll reach the maximum sentence."
"That middle-aged couple who previously occupied Old Zhang's son's house accumulated over thirty years for multiple crimes. No wonder the maximum was capped at twenty years; their minimum sentence seemed to be over ten years."
"They're receiving far too much leniency because they're elderly. If it were younger people, the sentence would likely be five or six years longer."
Regarding this outcome... they were not very satisfied.
The maximum sentence was twenty years, yet they received such light sentences in the end!
The sentences for the others were acceptable.
Even Zhao Dezhu, a repeat offender with multiple prior convictions, also received only five years!
