I'm not 100% up against penalty, but those guys deserved a little more punishment than just 5 to 9 stupid years, one of them was even accused of ****
the death penalty tho, does not apply in this case because as I've read, the victirms willingly took part in unprotected orgies and gay sex, and nowadays the HIV it's one of the most controllable infections, with the new anti-retro-viral treatments you could almost cure HIV with constant treatment and care
