Six years is not lenient. Sentnces have got longer but no one ever says they are too long. So a default minimum sentence is the logical conclusion.Sorry, it's you who is misunderstanding.
I'm not suggesting there is a default sentence for all crimes of a certain type, of course there are differing circumstances some of which will be mitigating. My point, which you seem determined to pivot from and/or ignore, is we have people committing serious crimes and getting relatively lenient sentences. If you want to assert that doesn't happen, fine, your opinion.
