Pathetic sentence. Two tier courts.

how?

[@il-danny-ll5588]

@@jdarshr8 years for murder, are you high?

[@jdarshr]

@@il-danny-ll5588 yeh thats ridiculous, it should be way more, I agree but how it is 2 tier ?

[@il-danny-ll5588]

@@jdarshr I don’t know if it’s actually 2tier justice, but I can see how people are thinking that, if you look at the blm riots in 2021 and lack of response compared to the riots a few months ago and also if you look at the data on criminal sentencing, they seem more lenient on foreign born citizens, and then you look at the grooming gangs and the lack of action, well it stinks of bias that’s for sure.

[@sherpafan033]

@@jdarshr Because a man has just been sentenced to longer than that for setting fire to a dustbin. That’s why. The judicial system is corrupt, out of touch and two tiered.

[@jujutrini8412]

There should have been a punishment for possession of the weapon also.

LIFE FOR A LIFE

Wow that is an unbelievable sentence. Was that young man's life only worth 8 years?
Shocking even for this country.

Exactly, low sentences won't deter anyone.....

[@djhillfinger]

They want to stop knife crime then they give sentences like this, where's the deterrent? absolutely mental

[@lw3646]

8 year sentence then, out in 5 I expect. Extremely lenient for a murderer who didn't plead guilty, regardless of age....

[@pinguandcorriefan]

I’m still shocked now how them boys are younger than me and could do that, I’m 14 and wouldn’t even steal a packet of crisps from an off licence

[@eddt430]

Shocking sentence. This is learnt behaviour no way normal 12 year olds act like this. I hope rhe parents are being investigated.

[@rb-hc8rl]

Absolutely disgraceful the 2 murderers will be out on the streets when they are 20 where will the victim be.

[@duncan_iowa]

Eight and a half years for such an egregious crime is outrageous, Justice Tipples and her like are so out of touch with the majority of the population who want these thugs taken off the streets and imprisoned for far longer also honesty in sentencing is still an issue that consecutive governments have failed to act on because they refused to build the prisons that such a policy would demand.

Disgraceful

Feral - I blame the parents myself
