Another victim of early release

Dave P · 2006-01-04T12:07:07+00:00

Remember the farmer who was killed when he tried to stop some gyppostealing his Land Rover last year? Turns out the killer was releasedafter serving only half of his sentence for burgling from farms.Why doesn't 3=BD years in prison mean 3=BD years in prison? In reality,every sentence is half as long as the judge hands down, unless you arereally naughty when you are in there, it seems. Ten years for murder,walk free in five. Can anyone with the appropriate knowledge explainwhy this is so?

On or around Thu, 5 Jan 2006 15:03:34 +0000 (UTC), "Badger" enlightened us thusly:

yeah, but he's also not supposed to shoot the TPB[1] in the back as he's running away. Shooting over his head, or into the ground behind him, would probably still have got him into trouble, but he'd not have been up on a murder charge.

Which doesn't mean I don't agree with you - people who nick stuff deserve their arse kicked. Broken bones, if they weren't fighting back, are probably getting into the excessive force area. multiple broken bones definitely.

I do tend to the view that fighting violence with more violence is self-defeating and to be avoided. If you can't avoid violence, then minimal violence is best.

I think the "apology" was meant ironically, if you read the post carefully!

Sentenced to 12 and 5=BD years apiece. So that's 6 years and 33 months respectively. For running over a guys head while stealing his car. But if he had threatened them with his shotgun, he'd have been the criminal.

Expect Frederick back in late 2008 and Ashley in 2012. Not long enough.

Indeed, however I think it somewhat unwise to state in a public and recorded forum, something which may later come back to haunt you.

A fair point, but I have done (nor will do) anything that will haunt me.

This was more of a 'heads up' to show that not all young troublemakers get away with just a prison sentence. Not everyone 'forgives and forgets'.

These young murderers don't think before they do their crime. If they did , they would realise that their killing doesn't just affect the person they are killing, but the entire community (who are fed up with these sorts of crimes)

We recently had a kid throw an 8kg block of concrete through a car window from off an overpass, killing the driver.....

....a pizza delivery guy killed by teenagers....for Pizzas!

....an Aisian tourist killed by Maori youths because he was a 'gook'....

and the list goes on.........

I've had relatives who have emigrated to Oz/NZ, and said that NZ was the place in the world that a Brit would find most like "home". Now I see why ;-)
