Today I came across this story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/7696709.stm
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/oct/29/goth-murderer-sentence-appeal
I'm not a goth and don't even really know many. However, I am a human! Their sentences were only reduced by nine months and some of the reduction requests were denied but seriously WTF!?
The principle alone is outrageous, if the judges agreed that the crimes were particularly horrific then WHY did they reduce the sentences of these criminals!?
Furthermore, why are their sentences so short in the first place!? These people can be out by the time they are in their early 30s when they will be able to have a normal life for another 50 or so years. They will be able to have families and carry on, what does this girl's family get!? They have to live with the loss of their daughter.
I feel justified in saying that justice has not been done in this case.
The UK legal system is a mess with systematic weaknesses. Sentences are short, jails are full, judges have their hands tied, politicians are unwilling to act. The system is corrupt, when officers commit crimes they cover it up, they frame people and torture them (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/northamptonshire/7595860.stm) without being punished by law. Justice is almost dead in the UK.
I am going to try and contact the court of appeals or CPS to complain over this matter. I will also contact my MP and try to get a letter to Mr.Brown the Prime Minister for an explanation of his thoughts.
Please let me know your thoughts on the issue.
they'll be out when they're 30? How old are they now?If they are kids, then, despite killing goths being terribe (and i don't get why people would target goths anyway)they are kids-- when they are 30 they are different people, they should be allowed to have a life.
Unfortunatly Dean (yet again), your wrong again (statisically at least). Most people leave prison better educated about a life in crime. Reports show that the younger the person sentenced, the worse crimes they will commit on the outside. You'd know that if you backed up your statements with a little research.
And whether they went to jail or not, just look at them. They are the type of people that join bikie gangs or white power groups. uneducated and unwilling to change, they are proud of their stupidity. They don't think they did anything wrong, and when they grow up they will be the old man in a pub picking fights who should know better.
To quote a man that had the right idea
- "Wipe them out. All of them."
I've always wanted to start a vigilante group, to bring about Yamantake-esque judgment. Or failing that, when I win the lotto, I will hire mecenaries to kill this c***s, along with every other poo stain who commits these acts
