quite worrying to think the judges are this lenient and not keeping murderers off the streets
I didnt know the victim personally but how on earth his family will be getting over it i dont know

i have always maintained that prison is there as a deterent, if you know you are going to go away for a while you will give your actions ab it more thought
rehabilitation, which seems to be everyones favorite word, should be for afterwards
and if you get handed 10 years, you should do 10 years, not 5
if you lock up all the scrotes, there will be less trouble if they are kept off teh streets in single cells for 10 years than being pampered and sent off on holidays for 5 weeks and then let back out again
