Indeed, but 18 months (out in a year?) is an insult to life don't you think?
Got to be 5 years I'd have thought.

Soft sentences are to blame for the lawless society we find ourselves in now.
Punch someone because you feel like it, kill them, get a year in the nick.
Not too much worth worrying about a year is it?
