Only served 4 years for stabbing someone 36 times, there’s me thinking those sort of sentences were a more recent thing.

You watched your mum cheat on your dad – and had to move back in with him.

> Judge Mrs Justice Smith sentenced him to four years, accepting the actions were out of character and saying he seemed to be a decent young man
Oh, okay that’s alright then..

1992. People can pretend to be nostalgic for that era, but it was even worse for the belief that women weren’t people and didn’t really count. If you got angry it was perfectly OK to kill one. I can’t remember when “crime of passion” stopped being an excuse to legalise murder.Â
I wanted to believe things were better now, but after the case of that pilot, who openly plotted murder, bought weapons, pre-dug a grave and killed the mother in front of her children, who only got ‘manslaughter’, I’m not so sure. The judge threw the book at him and he got twenty years or so, and will still probably never come out, but fucking manslaughter.

That’s like something from a horror movie. I really feel for this woman and glad she got out alive. The law can be a complete ass sometimes.
Can anyone explain why “Jade’s Law” has apparently been approved but not yet rolled out?

36 times with a knife seems like murder to me, but I wasn’t on the jury. Judges hands are tied by sentencing guidelines.

Can’t believe a law like this isn’t already in place? And how the fuck did he get off so lightly after stabbing that poor lady over 30 times!!? Omg hope she is at peace now

That’s why I always say that the UK is the Purge. You can do a crime and get barely nothing. I miss when you guys had balls and gave actual punishments to criminals.
