observer Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 A complete Richard Head of a Copper, joy rides his police car to show of to his Dad - but kills a woman pedestrian - he gets jailed for six and half years: but is that justice?

Peter T Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 It's a wonder he didn't get off altogether. They usually do with driving cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The lodger in the baby P case has just won his appeal, meaning he'll get out after 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LymmParent Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Six and a half years is a comparatively heavy sentence for someone who was sober, stopped at the scene and admitted everything. I honestly think he'd have got a bit less if he hadn't been a copper. What he did was bad, but it was poor judgement, not deliberate wickedness. By comparison, Luke McCormick, that goalie who ploughed up the motorway absolutely out of his skull and killed two children got seven years.

observer Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 You mean he was actually sober, while he stood by and allowed the child to be maimed and abused? As for the other case your quoting, perhaps a life ban an a 10 year minimum sentence would be more appropriate - mind you, I guess they just havn't got the prison space.

LymmParent Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Scuse me? I was talking about the policeman - and making the point that there are a great many civilians who were doing more than 56 in a 30 zone when they killed someone, were drunk at the time and tried to avoid punishment and STILL got less than six and a half years. I don't say he didn't deserve it, I simply say that he got no leniency because he was a copper - it worked against him. When I made my post yours about the lodger wasn't there - as you can see from the times. As far as I am concerned, if he knew what was going on and did nothing, he's WORSE than the boyfriend. So is the mother in question. I can take on board that there are people who enjoy torturing children, sick as I find the idea, but my brain rebels at the idea of others who keep quiet and allow it. Line the three of them up and pass me the ammo. No worries. Might take me a while until they're dead. Sod their Human Rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just to continue the theme with another example: it seems a Judge came down heavily on a resident who killed a burglar with a knife - I guess he should have given the burglars the run of the house, and asked for receipts for everything they took?
