Is this sentence long enough?

Causing death by dangerous driving has a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. To be murder, it would have to be a deliberate act of violence. This was an accident resulting from extreme recklessness by the driver.

There seem to be no mitigating circumstances in this case.

Plenty mitigating circumstances here tho, he’s given life! and ordered to serve a minimum of 11 years!!! wtf! 11 years isn’t even close to life, he needs locking up and the key throwing away, along with his stupid lil tart of a girlfreind, who lied for him, she has something like a 12 month sentence suspended for 2 years and ordered to do 150 unpaid work. Perhaps she should wear a sign on her back while doing so, *Baby murderer* grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The judicial system in this country sucks!! :twisted:

i know someone who killed a woman by drink drivin…. i wont go into details its too gory but he only got 7 yrs BUT served only 3yrs 8months and still doesnt see what he did was wrong……….oh and he lost his license for 10 yrs still drives tho i have told the police about this as i fume over what he has done

Katee, I watched a programme one night, was talking to my son about it. I said that all these police were chasing this young man through the town, he kept being able to hide from them for a while, then the chase was on again. It ended up with around 6 police cars and countless officers……..

His crime?

He had relieved himself (pissed against a wall in an alleyway) :roll: Now ok, he shouldn’t have done that, but it was around 2am in the morning and who exactly was he harming, a short sharp word in his shell like surely would have been enough. No, he was apparently charged with some offence of pissin in a public place. It was un-believable!!,,,,,seems to me the police are far more interested in easy targets like this one, after all, the amount of officers that ended up on the scene at his arrest, all have to make reports don’t they, so they’re all then in the station, while the real criminals are left to have an ultimate field day!!! :twisted:

a) there’s no such offence of “pissing in a public place”
b) if it was your wall he was pissing all over you might possibly be slightly less outraged at the Police doing something about it.
c) Public indecency offences, such as the one you describe, are invariably dealt with by an ‘on the spot’ fixed penalty notice and not by arrest, followed by charges and Court appearances.
d) for the numbers of Police involved in the incident (as you describe it) and for the offender to have been arrested etc etc there must have been another more serious offence committed – probably about which you knew nothing.

PB there was no other offence committed except that one

Maybe I wouldn’t be happy if it was my wall he was pissin against, my point was that it didn’t take all those officers that were shown chasing and ultimately arresting him. Surely it could have been dealt with by less!!

That!!!!! was my point

So I anticipate that you’ll be writing to the Independent Police Complaints Authority to complain about this terrible and disproportionate use of Police resources in dealing with a public indecency offence, when they should have been chasing around after real criminals???

Banks being robbed; homes being burgled; and all they could do was persecute the local phantom urinator. Disgraceful eh?

I’m not gon argue with you PB, it’s my opinion for what it’s worth, thats all.

As for writing to the PCA,,,,,,no, if they didn’t do anything about that other thing, which was so much more important, what hopes are there for them to do anything about this.
No, PB, just stating my opinion, thats what these message boards are for isn’t it?
