Many netizens echoed the sentiments of Cindy Mishcon, Michelle Mishcon's sister, arguing that Harrouff received a light sentence as he is a white male from an affluent family.Cindy Mishcon said:“Here we are opening the prison doors for a double murderer. Four words come to mind. White, rich boy justice.”Other social media users, however, argued that the decision was fair, as it seemed the former college student had legitimately been psychologically disturbed. Many also brought up the fact that he had been assessed by psychologists, who had called the slayings the consequence of an "acute psychotic episode."Kristin@kristinbroadway@TrinaBear10 @cathyrusson I know two psychologists (one by the defense and one by the state), found that he was having an acute psychotic episode when he murdered the couple.3@TrinaBear10 @cathyrusson I know two psychologists (one by the defense and one by the state), found that he was having an acute psychotic episode when he murdered the couple.Meanwhile, many users argued that due to the circumstances, Harrouff could not be held fully responsible for his actions.
