Light Murder Sentences

[Ken Davison South Wales]

Surely these sentences should have read SEVENTY and SIXTY years respectively.

This was a disgustingly brutal murder which was deliberately filmed

[Guest Jan V]

"Judge James Stewart described the attack as "revolting, gratuitous and degrading." Not anywhere near as revolting as the sentences handed down.

I am sure that the judges of today have no idea of how the real world works in these cases. In Australia, there has been a groundswell of ill feeling towards the judiciary, especially when 9 Aboriginals from age 15 to 26 raped a 10 year old girl.

The Prosecutor did not even seek custodial sentences and has since resigned from his position.

I heard about that on an Ozzie radio station. The judge reportedly said that she consented "with at least half" of them. I'm against the death penalty because on the whole it does not work, but I'd like to see that judge swing.

 

I would give them 90-95 years.

Be interesting to see what John Darwin gets, for swindling some companies out of a bit of cash. As far as I can make out, he's been held in custody since his arrest. I fail to see how he's a threat to society.
