Two years for murder?

Two years for 'murder'?

This repeat offender has been handed down a four year sentence for 'murder'.

Yes, four years, but no doubt out in two for good behaviour and convincing do-gooder parole board members that he's 'really sorry' and that it's because he has ADHD.

Officially classed as manslaughter, but he struck the shopkeeper intentionally.

This despicable male rapist has been jailed for life, which means he must serve just over 6 years, which is laughable!

I am of the opinion male rapists like him should have their penises surgically removed so they can never rape again.

Re: Two years for murder?

I don't understand this if he is a 'time bomb ' with a history of violence -he attacked a teacher at school why such a low sentence?
I would have thought 20 years ( then he would get out in ten ) at the very least .

Re: Two years for murder?

He wasn't convicted of murder, he was convicted of Manslaughter.

(Extract from report) The boy was found guilty of manslaughter after a trial heard Mr Patel 'had not really been involved' in the confrontation outside the shop before the attack.

There is a 'tariff' for various offences designed by the Law Commission.

Re: Two years for murder?

Manslaughter, yes. That's the judge's decision.

Nevertheless, he killed a man and will serve two years in a cushy jail, where he will no doubt learn more 'skills' from other inmates and enjoy some readily available drugs.

Just think how many more people he'll be able to kill over the many years he has of freedom at only two years a pop.

I don't know of any other country which gives such lenient 'punishments' for serious crimes, yet our wonderful politicians seem quite oblivious, or even happy with the resulting increases in crime.

Hang 'em, flog 'em, send the buggers to the Colonies. Sooner we return to the good old days of the eighteenth century the better.
We don't need our human rights do we?

Re: Two years for murder?

I despair of our Justice system.

Re: Two years for murder?

Like many more on here you despair of anything that does not fit with your chocolate box dream of how our Country should be.

Re: Two years for murder?

Trouble is that it's quite a stretch to describe some of these waste of space low lifes as human. They don't respect the rights of their victims so why should society respect theirs, so yes let's flog 'em and hang 'em, but personally I'd spare the colonies....
