Is Seven Years Enough - N O

[Canary42]

Callous child killer with previous convictions - should be 27 years IMHO.

He'll be out in 3½, less if Daddy pulls strings.

[naomi24]

No, it isn't enough.

[andy-hughes]

It clearly is not enough - but he changed his plea, so that is what the law indicates as the sentence with a guilty plea entered.

Rarely do I agree with much of what you say Canary but in this case I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments.

[ummmm]

You don't know he'll be out in 3 1/2. I really hope he isn't. If he's as arrogant and selfish as that article states he might run into a fair bit of trouble.

[emmie]

as you say should have got a much higher sentence, a callous individual.

[hereIam]

I hope and pray he suffers horribly in jail. I don't think much of his stupid adoptive parents either, speaking out for him in Court - morons !!

[Mamyalynne]

Nowhere near enough.

[TheDevil]

His attitude towards the child at the time of the event not only shows a serious lack of intelligence but it also shows an arrogant characteristic which may cause problems for the general public. I wonder if seven years is enough time to break down the ego of this murderer.

[Lie-in King]

Not nearly long enough.

[drmorgans]

I struggle to understand the behaviour of the child's mother who must have known what an arrogant thug she was seeing. Why didn't she protect the child?

[TheDevil]

For all we know, she was scared of him.

[ummmm]

drmorgans - scared, controlled.

Outsiders might see happiness but the truth is usually hidden.

[Mozz71]

Pathetic sentence, but hopefully it will be 7 years of constantly looking over his shoulder for the next beating.

[ummmm]

Yep..selfish, arrogant, child killer. He will be put in his place pretty sharpish.

So much for the so called ‘civilised society’ I am constantly reminded we live in on this site.
I am sure Alfie didn’t form that opinion for his short life.
