Just read this from tonights Star, i feel so angry at our so called criminal justice system, letting down the victims family. For this guy to be out on the streets in such a short time, to be able to offend again. I just hope for the sake of the victims family they throw the book at him, and he gets the sentence he deserves.

What a piece of useless scum he is.

my thoughts exactly

utterly disgusting.

That is gratifying to know. I thought his original sentence was obscenely short, considering what he'd done.

Just goes to show how little regard he has for the law, doesn't it?

What's that, sooty? He's back in gaol? Well, as Sgt Major Williams of Deolali, 1945 might have put it.

"Oh dear.... How sad.... Never mind!"

my opinion? let him languish away!

He ran the child over deliberately, having planned beforehand to do so, did he?

if he was given `life` and i mean `life` for the first time he would not have been around to take another poor childs life...bring back proper punishments ,,,a life for a life.(hanging,execution etc)..this would stop them and save others lifes and tax-payers money............

Get in the real world Heyesey.

..this is one of those difficult social/emotional questions.

We all feel utter abhorrence at what he did and I think our feelings are aggravated by the fact he subsequentely lied about his involvement and left the scene after the collision.

I'm not sure of the facts, but were there any features about his driving that implied this was more than an accident?

We still feel anger and the boy's parents must be grief stricken, but accidents do happen and we often find ourselves in a position where we need to blame someone entirely in order to make sense of such a tragic waste of a young life.

In the article in the Star the blokes lawyer Ged Hall said the offence is an isolated incident of driving for 5 minute. I bet this lawyer still believes there is a tooth fairy. You can bet people like this will have driven a car a few times before he got caught. Scum like this have no respect for the law. I hope they throw the key away

Probably not, but the low life filth DID deliberately scurry from the scene and tried to cover up his invlovement.

Top bloke in your eyes then.

evildrneil · 08-10-2007, 19:47

Five months for a hit and run killing

Plain Talker · 08-10-2007, 19:52

EDN:- not just "only sentenced to 5 months", for what he did, but because of "time served" on remand, he was released after serving just five weeks!!!!. As I said earlier, it was obscenely short, and in no way served any justice.

Do you think a 5 month sentence is inadequate for leaving the scene of an accident and lying to the police? This is a genuine question by the way and not a criticism of what you posted.

Wayneos · 08-10-2007, 20:37

5 months, makes ya feel sick to be British, I could probably understand that if it was a complete accident, the kid run out and he couldn't stop kinda thing....but we're talking HIT & RUN, isn't that pretty much the same as manslaughter? Then he covers it up and lies about it, so loads of remorse then?

Think I might go on a murdering spree tonight, might see my family again for christmas...

This country makes me sick...burn the union jack and hand the place over to immigrants, I'm outta here.

Obviously you have not understood the intent of my post.

I think the words 'low life filth' should have given you a clue.

As for your question no yes I do, I think it should have been 10 years minimum.

Oh I understood the intent of your post, so the sarcastic eye rolling is unneccesary. I also think he's 'low life filth', but the prisons would be bursting at the seams if everyone who lied to the police and left the scene of an accident were given 10 year jail terms.
