6 years is about right, maybe slightly long if anything.
In my opinion this is what the justice system should be:
- Murder = automatic death penalty, unless it is undisputably an accident in which case it could be anything from like 10-30 years.
- Rape = 20 years everyone in prison should find out you're a rapist (multiple rapes especially if violent = death penalty)
- Child molestation/sexual assault = at LEAST 20 years and EVERYONE in jail finds out you're a child molester so you can be butt raped and then murdered in prison
- Theft, depending on the amount, can be anywhere from 5-15 years plus you get your own personal property taken away doubling the amount you stole
- Assaults: A little mix up is no big deal but something like is described in the OP would maybe be 5 years and the other guy gets a free shot on you if he so chooses.

The problem with your thinking is that stricter punishments have never shown to be a deterrent to violent crime.
Having prisons that actually rehabilitate people and a stronger education system would go much further in reducing crime than any kind of medieval punishment system ever would.

Honestly i'd even be willing to go back to medieval times type punishment: ie. cut the hand off of a thief, publicly hang murderers, cut the dick off of a rapist, etc.
I just hate criminals so much. They have shit lives so instead of doing something productive like working or volunteering they have to go ruin other people's lives.
And I don't fully agree rehabilitation works. I'm sure it does in some cases but I don't think a crazy ass serial killer or a drugged up murderer can be rehabilitated at all.
