(AmericanProsperity.com) – The liberals’ soft-on-crime policies have given a murderer a massive win while leaving the victim’s family and friends in complete shock.
Specifically, a teenage killer has been sentenced to just three years for the murder of a Lyft driver.
This outrageous decision by Judge Kendra Briggs has left the victim’s family devastated and law-abiding citizens questioning the integrity of the justice system.
The case revolves around the cold-blooded killing of Nasrat Ahmad Yar, a hardworking Lyft driver, who was brutally shot in 2023.
The 16-year-old attacker, whose identity remains protected due to his age, pleaded guilty to felony murder in January.
Instead of facing the full consequences of his actions, he was handed a mere slap on the wrist.
Judge Briggs’ sentence includes a paltry 17 months of incarceration, with the teen set to be released on his 18th birthday.
This mockery of justice sends a dangerous message that violent criminals can get away with murder, quite literally, if they are young enough.
Ahmad Yar’s friends and family are understandably outraged by this insufficient punishment. Their loss is immeasurable, and the justice system has failed them spectacularly.
“A judge sentenced a 16-year-old to ***three years*** in prison for the death of a Lyft driver in a shooting from back in 2023.”
The teen pleaded guilty to the murder of an Afghan interpreter for the U.S. Army who’d fled the Taliban in 2021. Three years.https://t.co/Uo3Vephoyw

This case exemplifies the growing trend of soft-on-crime policies that prioritize criminals over victims and their loved ones.
This lenient sentencing also raises serious concerns about the safety of ride-sharing services.
Hardworking Americans who rely on companies like Lyft for their livelihoods are now left wondering if the justice system will protect them when they become targets of violent crime.
The case has sparked a heated debate about the treatment of minors in the criminal justice system.
While some argue for rehabilitation, a three-year sentence for taking a life is an insult to the victim’s memory and a dangerous precedent that undermines the very foundations of law and order.
This blatant disregard for justice is yet another example of how liberal policies are eroding the fabric of society.
By coddling violent offenders, these policies send a clear message that crime pays.
Many Americans are now calling for harsher sentences and demanding judges who prioritize public safety over misguided notions of leniency.
Concerned citizens argue that it is time to advocate for victims’ rights and demand that elected officials and judges start prioritizing the safety of law-abiding Americans.
