Sounds like at least manslaughter to me, they kicked and punched the fella intensely and he died as a direct result.

Pretty hard to fathom how the courts work (or dont, lol) at times!

Could say its down to Scotish law, as in England they would have been fined and got 20 hrs community service.

A Joke. Judges need to get a grip and come back to the real world sometimes!

Maybe in scotland they have rescheduled killing a pikey as a lesser offence?

that cant be far from me if they took him to the WI! And yes, the sentence is a joke!

A mate of mine got near as long in jail for a bad RTA in which someone was killed, and he most certainly didnt preplan that and carry it out in cold blood!

Why did the bitch not get any formof punishment. She "hired" them with the false accusation of assault?

With stupid sentencing like this thugs will think less of killing someone. I mean if they got 2 years for killing him, imagine they only broke his leg.

its ridiculous the full sentencing guidelines, its like a slap on the wrist

imo kicking someone in the head, you KNOW that potentially it can kill someone thus in my eyes it should have been attempted murder or manslaughter

its something so horrific i dont know how anyone could even bring theirselves to do it

manslaughter should be for anyone who kills without intent, a pall of mine got 5 years for killing a bloke who he had issues with and had a fight with, the OTHER bloke pulled a the blade and he got it of him and jookd him just catching something near hes heart and he died


he got manslaughter as he never intended to kill but he stabbed him and as a result he died

i thought it was harsh but its law and its true, he could have changed the situation if he never lashed back

these kids gettign less is a joke IMO
