Sure does seem like these assholes got off easy.

(Left to right)
-Wonzey Saffold, 30, was sentenced to 6 to 10 years. His sentence was the harshest because he has multiple previous felonies.
-Latrez Cummings, 19, -- sentencing was delayed so the judge can review whether he's in school, as he claims.
-James Davis, 24, was sentenced to 1 year in jail or work release with 5 years of probation.
-Bruce Wimbush , 18, was placed on 3 years probation.
-The juvenile (not pictured or named) who was originally charged with ethnic intimidation will go into a residential placement program. The teen is to be back in court Sept. 17 for a review/release hearing.
Looks like the fact that the defendants apologized to the Utash family went a long way with this judge.
Utash's brother and daughter spoke at the sentencing hearings today and expressed their disdain for the defendants. Steven Utash reportedly has some permanent brain damage, but continues to progress in his recovery.
