Yeah because that's what they said..... He was subject to neglect and abuse from the age of four, and had access to drugs and alcohol from age eight. Are you saying that's not going to have any impact on someone's life? I doubt many of us on here have any idea what it's like to grow up in those circumstances.
Mental health and suicide rates are higher amongst those who were in care at a young age, which this guy didn't even have the 'luxury' of, sounds like he had no help at all and remained with abusive family. This guy could well have killed himself, but ended up self destructing in a different way which has landed him 20+ years in jail. Sad story all round

Which in reality is what he will probably serve.
Agree re: your points. I am just a stickler for the rules.

Keep wondering, he didn't and I don't have a son so I don't know how I would feel would I.
Should have chosen your words a bit more carefully sonny.
As one of NSC's top 5 pillocks it was par for the course though.

Because as far as I can see in this thread you did not mention his mental health and upbringing, it was an important part of the offence, so you either dont know or dont care.
He did not run a firearms factory, plenty of far worse serious offenders have stayed out of prison to be given secure mental health care.
I agree about the weed, idiot for doing that knowing how it affects him mentally.
Your last paragraph sums it all up really, you have no idea what it is like to raised the way he was.
Big difference between this week and last weeks animal who I could quite happily flog.
No, the rapist got 18 years, I don’t know if there was a minimum term involved in that.
The fella last night got 22.5 years, with no right to apply for parole for 16 years.

I just noticed I typed 'less' instead of 'more'.

Just caught up on the program.
When caught sure he showed remorse and no doubt his upbringing contributed to the life he lived. He was let down by the state after reaching out for help and being ignored yet we don’t know the manner that he presented himself when trying to get help, was he aggressive was he sincere?
There wasn’t too much focus on the fact that he was an armed drug dealer leading up to this. Had he not had that moment of madness what would we think of his character then, he’s just an armed drug dealer who kept drugs and firearms in a house he shares with his kids?
Looking at the footage and comparing his demeanour to the placid, softy spoken man in the station it’s hard to tell for sure which character was genuine and whether a game was being played with sentencing in mind.
On balance it’s sad the system led him down but he didn’t have to be an armed drug dealer.
My final observation was having never seen an acting police women with clearly lip implants! Had wondered if the young policeman with the waist coat was inspired by DS / DI Arnott as he was going to be on the telly which also promoted her to get her lips done?

My daughter’s fiancé is from Luton, and his mum is a school teacher. The rapist tow rag was one of her ex pupils. He was exactly as he came over in the programme, just a very nasty human being. His parents, on the other hand, were nice, decent people. They have disowned him completely, and won’t have any thing else to do with him.
It was his Dad that grassed him up.

Bit of an odd episode last Monday. A 5 year murder enquiry and it turns out the chap is not dead and has been living in a tent next to Asda's.
How was he charging his phone ?

Latest episode is an upsetting one. Domestic violence but male victim, female accused. Very well made television.
Are they all based in Luton?

I think Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire constabulary's have a partnership sharing force resources like MIT, Dogs, Firearms etc, and therefore all episodes will be within that geographical area. With Luton being the biggest shithole in that area it figures that the town would feature regularly.
Makes sense. I’ve visited Luton on a number of occasions and never been impressed with the area.

What a despicable episode.
I feel sick after watching it, how has that despicable woman got an 16 month (8 months) sentence, if that were a man who had done those things, I’m absolutely stunned the judge came to the conclusion of such a miserly punishment.
