Good im glad he got 6 years. He was clearly guilty.

Whoever hid him away for 36 hours should get done as well.

Marshy, if a mate of yours turned up at your house late and pissed, even if he was stressed out would you automatically assume he'd just killed somebody and f*cked off, and get the Old Bill in just in case?

I agree with you if they knew what he'd done, but how the hell can we know that?

stay away from the greenhouse Lee, and keep your dungerees done up tightly.

Come on, if a mate of yours turned up pissed, out of the blue and wanted to stay for a couple of days, i think you might have asked a few questions....

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

It has happened to me before. The bloke had split up with his girlfriend and left the house, gone out and got pissed to drown his sorrows and needed somewhere to kip. He was in a right state when he got to mine - I didn't see it as a reason to call the police.

What would you do in those circumstances? Make him fill in a questionnaire when utterly shitfaced? (How many have you had? Have you been driving? Have you killed anyone and not told me about it?)

i am pleased he got a custodial sentence however how can they jail him and not give that asylum seeker who knocked down the local boy no jail sentence

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

West Brom have terminated his contract with immediate effect.

 

[Robot Chicken]

Don't prisoners automatically get let out after half their sentence? Or is that only if the sentence is under 4 years? What about time off for good behaviour? I think the odds of him spending the full 6 years inside is remote.

 

[ditchy]

guess strangeways may score a few goals this season !!

 

[bhaexpress]

Unless he messes about he most certainly won't serve six years. He's more likely to do four if he keeps his nose clean.

No doubt the players will be wearing some sort of support message t-shirts under their kit on saturday just in case they score....

I bet they won't.

 

[timco]

the maximum was 10 - why didnt he get ten?

The maximum for the crime he was committted of is 14 years, it was raised earlier this year.

Do you really know the details of either case well enough to make anything other than this trite comment? Shame that you can't see that intolerance towards immigrants is as fuckwitted as the homophobic attitutes you rightly decry on other threads.

 

[Ernest]

It should be double for illegal immigrants as they have no right to be here and if they weren't it would never have happened.

Because the asylum seeker shouldn't have been driving but he was not drunk and the kid ran across a dual carriageway in front of him. I don't think the two cases are in any way comparable.

They're not at all comparable. The driver in Ferring was not charged with the same offence, due to lack of evidence. He was
found guilty of motoring offences and sentenced accordingly.

Lee Hughes has been charged and found guilty of causing death and been sentenced, presumably in line with sentencing recommendations.

what a dickhead you are.

Not too much difference in the cases. Both left the scene of an accident leaving somebody to die! Nine months in the local case was excedingly lenient, especially as the driver who killed had no license or insurance. Another example of judges being inconsistent. Hughes got what he deserved, but the driver in the Worthing case got off lightly.

 

[the full harris]

the other case should have got way way longer than 9 months by the sounds of it. don't understand the judge's decision there.

however, the fact that they are an immigrant is completely irrelevant.
