Life For Philpott

[hc4361]

Justice has been done.

[emmie]

but he didn't mean conservatory though, nice to see the class clichés coming to the fore, or should that be tug the forelock.

[Sheenamf]

Like many others I just hope life means life, and that these people are never given the chance to resume a life on the outside

[ummmm]

I wouldn't call him charming. He referred to them as bitches.

They were certainly kept in their place.

[emmie]

i was referring to someone i dated, not that piece of trash.

That's my worry that the other two could appeal their sentences as their sentence seems to be at the very top of the sentencing guidelines.

/// I suggest you read the judge's remarks, considered with the benefit of evidence, for another view ///

I also suggest that you should read the reason that I put 'No choice at all in my mind'.

Before suggesting that I should not be allowed the right of an opinion

*** So it shouldn't have been a choice, a beating from her husband or putting her children at risk? ***

*** No choice at all in my mind. ***

No Anne. They first need to get leave to appeal from the single judge. If leave is given it goes to the Court of Appeal. There are lots of different grounds, disparity of sentence, wrong at law, manifestly excessive, matters improperly taken into account or not taken into account and others.

I don't want to get involved in the arguments here - just to say "thank you" to hc4361 for the link to the Judge's sentencing statement.

A very well written and clear explanation of the facts of the case and her reasons for the various sentences.

[emmie]

that would be a travesty, sentences should be served, have done with it.

[anotheoldgit]

I wondered what you were getting at em10 until I read jack's post, pointing out my incorrect spelling of Conservatory, (damn spell checker), but thanks anyway jack for pointing that out, rather funny where the wrong spelling can put a completely different meaning to a post, enough in this case to upset a fellow ABer. sorry!

[emmie]

sorry did you mean conservatory then. I am confused.

[ummmm]

Yes, he did.

[anotheoldgit]

em10

/// sorry did you mean conservatory then. I am confused. ///

Yes of course I did, but blimey after reading further posts you wasn't on your own, unintentionally I nearly started a class war.

If you look at the pictures you will see Phillpot and some family members in the said conservatory (checks to see if I have spelt it correctly) also there is reference to him trying to climb on it's roof to get to a bedroom window.

[Zeuhl]

And on the other side of their house they had a Labouratory

[Sharingan]

Sorry anotheroldgit, my post was because I read conservatives.xx

[friedgreentomato]

Did he try and take all the blame himself, or was he happy to drag her down with him? During the West's trial, Fred tried to take all the blame stating that Rose knew nothing.

[emmie]

so did i, hence the mix up.
was looking at sky news and one post on this matter, said that had this case been tried in US, it would have been 6 x life sentences, and that would mean never coming out, good point.

[friedgreentomato]

Ah yes and we all want American justice don't we!!!

[sir.prize]

What is the purpose of announcing a 17 year sentence when there is only a necessity to serve half of it?

[Barmaid]

I didn't think Fred West got as far as trial. He topped himself before.
