But that 'stupid Human Rights law' also covers your right, for example, to a fair trial - it's designed to protect the innocent so, if you were accused of some crime, wouldn't you like the right to defend your case in the knowledge that you weren't guilty? If we got rid of the human rights legislation, you'd just be imprisoned with no right of appeal
Don't forget, this guy pleaded guilty so didn't actually have a trial - as such, British law says that there should be some leniency in sentencing. Nothing to do with human rights legislation really...
