Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Don't blame the judge, as (from the Mail) -
"But last month the Court of Appeal quashed the manslaughter convictions.
They again appeared before Judge Warwick McKinnon, but this time at Croydon Crown Court where they were given the supervision orders....
....the boys were given 12-month supervision orders for violent disorder."
They were being sentenced for the violent disorder crimes - he was probably following the Government's guidelines, which is all he is allowed to do (otherwise another appeal happens).

As the DI in charge of the case said "That is in no way a criticism of the judge, that's a criticism of the law that doesn't allow a stiffer sentence."

We should be angry at the lawyers, who put the case that (again from the Mail) - "Lawyers said the conviction for manslaughter was not safe, arguing that Mr Norton's death could not be laid at the boys' door because the pensioner had a heart condition – he had a triple bypass in 1977."

Of course it wasn't safe - his death was clearly just a co-incidence and nothing whatsoever to do with being attacked, verbally abused and stoned by a mob of thugs..... :rolleyes:

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Best thing now is to send the *******s on a holiday or two. Then sit down with them and see how much security at taxpayers expense they need, A change of name and new housing, Jobs, Life. Then maybe in future people will think twice about allowing themselves to be stoned to death. :rolleyes:

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Yes come to think of it I reckon the victim was to blame for it all and these respectful children should be compensated for their hideous ordeal. I mean what sort of decent, self respecting person would have the audacity to go out with his son for a highly provocative game of cricket in the local park and then spoil all these poor kids ballistic fun by having a fatal heart attack for no good reason!!! Tut, tut, tut .... the older generation eh ..... what is the world coming to????

Be careful you might be accused of reading non do gooder newspapers next for making statements like that :D

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Isn't it nice to see a recursive closed-cycle paradigm reinforcement discussion? ;)

Bless.......

btw, I think it's wrong that these kids got away with what they did - but blame the lawyers who used the system, not the judge who had to follow the rules (imho).

My sympathies go with the members of the victim's family, and the judge for having to give the sentence he did.
How awful must it be to be in a position of passing punishment but being forced to give a slap on the wrist, especially when you sentenced them to a harsher punishment only a few months earlier.
I'd be spitting nails with fury at the government.

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

You can bless who you want.

I stand by my words. They have been let off MURDER. And its because the Do Gooder types have got there way AGAIN

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Murder requires intent to kill.
Manslaughter yes, as per the original conviction, and yes, like I'm sure the judge views it, they've been let off for causing the death of someone.

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Nothing to do with "do-gooders", all to do with lawyers using the system (imho).

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Interesting fact No. 63599(b) from "Mr Angry's book of interesting facts".

If you take away all the letters from the word "Lawyers" and replace them with different letters and jumble them up it spells "Do-gooders". Fact!

Re: Judge releases child killers
 

Don't you have to add some letters, or do they magically appear from a parallel multiverse?
