A death is always an awful thing, and my full condolences to the victims family and friends.


However, anybody who has posted actually aware of the manslaughter law?

Or are you all just seeing somebody has died and ignoring all the facts?

The important thing here is the intent. There are two ways of killing somebody with one punch. Firstly the actualy punch can cause a hemmorage, death has occoured instantly. The second way is when the body hits the floor, which is this case.

If I WANTED to kill somebody I would not try and punch them. The intent here was clearly to cause bodily harm, not death. TBH the sentence is more than I expected to see (12 months).

Just because he was a chav going on what you have posted about his past does not give the court a right to whack his sentence up.

I'm just trying to make you understand how the sentence was reached. If he had gone not guilty then he could of seen 3 years.

If the sentence is unduely leanient then the CPS can appeal to the high court, though that would be a big surprise to me.
