You know very well what I mean AH.

AH is right, though: he'd done the crime and served the time. It actually seems as if he'd reformed, seen the error of his ways and apologised. In which case a useful citizen may have been lost.

I’m sure society will manage without him.

[youngmafbog]

Might have guessed you would be right behind him jno.

The sentence wasnt long enough in my opinion, justice was not served - until this.

//In which case a useful citizen may have been lost//

In take it you consider the disabled person was not a useful citizen then. Despicable.

///In take it you consider the disabled person was not a useful citizen then. Despicable.///

Typical. Invent something I didn't say, attribute it to me and spit bile at me for saying it.

[youngmafbog]

You did write it though, I didnt. Perhaps you should think a bit more before spouting ultra liberal views?

You imply this piece of scum was useful ignoring the fact he murdered someone.

Your self righteous indignation is nauseous, although nI am not surprised.

jno // he'd done the crime and served the time //

This is the crux of the matter. There are few crimes more serious than murder. We know that Judges have to work within guidelines and they can exercise their own discretion when sentencing.

After the appeal his sentence was reduced to 14 years. On the face of it, this appears to be on the lenient side.

Since he was a teenager when he committed this most heinous of crimes, does this make the murder of the disabled man less culpable? Is the judge right to use 'youth' in mitigation when determining the original sentence which was 18 years?

Moreover; Is this not the view held by the Court of Appeal Judges or are they just playing to the rule book?

YMB - // You know very well what I mean AH. //

I don't respond to 'what you mean', I respond to what you post.

That saves me assuming you mean something, and then criticising you for it, as you have done to jno in your post at 13:15.

That's unfair, to put an unoffered view into someone because it is your interpretation of what they think, based only on your perception.

It's bad debating, and it causes rows.
