Poor Uk. The British Justice System Is a Joke. My Opinion. by Feedmemore(f): 5:07am On Aug 23, 2014 |
How on earth did a killer who took someone else's life given 5 years in prison? Below is the article that made me open this thread. A boxer who killed a man with a single punch during a brawl outside a nightclub has been jailed for five years. |

Five years to kill a man, if you hate someone you know what to do next for those of you folks who live in Britain, the tariff is 5years chaps, cheap and quick 2.5years for disguised murder, it is not even worth paying a hit man.

CFCfan: Speechless Indeed! Another thug let off lightly! But a life in the Britain of today is usually extinguished cheaply. The assailant spends a few comfortable years in jail while the victims family have to suffer for the rest of their lives. Something is very wrong! |

here its the difference between murder and manslaughter just like the pretorius case he was not found guilty of murder but manslaughter, which he is waiting for sentencing http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/manslaughter http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/h_to_k/homicide_murder_and_manslaughter/ |

Feedmemore: it's manslaughter.... he never intended to kill him. there was no ulterior motive other than to cause bodily harm to the victim. it's unfortunate the victim passed away & that was why the accused got only 5 years. |

Our justice system was drawn from the English system. You do not visit a law lecture room in a nigerian university without seeing lectures citing English cases. The Indian system too was drawn from the good ole English law book. But i still don't think you can use one case to just determine the competence of a legal system. |

coogar: It's manslaughter yes, but he should have coped a minimum of 15yrs, it will serve as deterrent to violent thugs who think they can get away with murder. Five years for a man's life? That's pathetic to say the least. A life sentence for his family and friends. Two children left fatherless. If we can't keep thugs like this locked up for life, then at least hit them in the pocket and make them pay either directly into the family's fund or into a community fund for the victims of violence - for the rest of their lives. People are pursued by the Courts to pay child maintenance when they separate, but if the separation is permanent and irrevocable and no fault of the parents involved but that of a third party, some similar ruling should apply when they are the victims of violence that takes away a contributor to the family's finances. 1 Like |

Feedmemore: minimum of 15 for what isn't intended? come on.....the law doesn't work that way. if the deceased thought he could die by a punch, he would have took to his heels. if the accused had brought out a knife or a gun, the deceased would have taken to his heels......causing a grievous bodily harm wasn't intended & this is why he got off lightly.
the US legal system has corrupted you. the brits don't just lock people up with long sentences - they look at the merits of the case. this dude is a first offender - he prolly has his own family as well plus other factors. i think what he got is commensurate to the crime.....it's just unfortunate someone died. |
