As for the Independent, you've misread them and misunderstood the idea of life sentences with minimum tariffs*. I'd write more, but it would be unfair. Instead, go and read this:

I wasn't asking you for a legal judgement but if you "felt" that the punishment fitted the crime. You seem very capable of giving your opinion on everything else.....

I haven't misread anything. You have misread me. I was commenting on that fact that he has recieved 5 years, whether you call it "life" or not it's still a ridiculous punishment for what he has done. I havn't mentioned anything about a life sentence in this thread....
By the way your posting style can come across as very arrogant, hopefully I am misreading it....?
