In a confessional on Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project, while discussing David Sheppard’s unfair sentencing, West muses: “I understand that somebody who is involved in something should get time.” Her point, ultimately, is that people who are simply accessories to crimes shouldn’t be charged with longer and stricter sentences than the perpetrators of the crime itself.
