I think the problem is the sentencing can get out of hand.

In this case 30 years is still more than most other countries would give, but its not outrageous like america usually is.

Based on what I was reading, I think they may have thrown the book at all of them because this was the third incident (possibly murder?) this group was involved in that week.

Yeah and it was appealed down as far as sentencing went. Wild story isnt it. Not what I would choose as an example of a miscarriage of justice.
