very true ,It is quite easy for us to sit in judgment without all the facts

To be honest, I don't think victim impact statements should have any bearing on sentencing. They have their place in allowing the victim to be heard in the trial, but that's about it in my opinion. Sentencing should be done on the basis of facts (which includes impact on society), not victim perception.
