brought his granddaughter inside and then you see him calling the police on his mobile.
Which in itself was a nice change from people using the mobile to film it and stick it on youtube instead of helping out

They hit hard enough to cause the person to die, that is not a hit and run.
I don't entirely disagree with you there bud. But its unlikely that will happen. At least doubling their sentence would make a few people feel more justified.I would prefer hanging personally, that would help
You've never worked in a Juvenile Prison - I have.
There's a stronger chance they will come out worse.
A few years in secure care away from the influences that lead to them acting like that, at such a critical point in their lives has every chance of making them properly productive members of society. any longer would ruin those chances, and cost society in the long run.
So what do you think of not releasing people until they are proven to be rehabilitated and no risk to society?
It's murder, not manslaughter. He intentionally sought to cause physical harm to another person.
Otherwise every pub fight ever would result in 'attempted murder' convictions!!
I reckon the americans have it right.
Lock them up in jail, and make it hard. Dont put them in a nice cosy cell with a sink, a toilet, a TV and a window.
Let em sleep outside in a tent and do forced labour all day

Lots of people in here can't understand the mentality at all.
I can. I don't agree with it. But I can understand the line of humour they were following. In other words, I understand (don't agree with) their motivation for doing the crime. Most people in here don't, and you try and explain it to them, they get all wierd and nasty - I just think it's because they feel like I'm digging at them because they don't understand how this kind of thing occurs, and I do..
Imagine throwing a custard pie into a complete strangers face and filming it. It's basically exactly the same school of humour (taken to an unacceptable extreme). Which lots of people don't understand. That's all I'm saying. It's wierd no-one 'gets it' at all ...
What sickens me more is you get 4 years for murder but 7 years for fraud.
i think they need to come up with a new law:
Anti social conduct that leads to death...
which is a lesser offense than murder, but is much worse than manslaughter....
a, manslaughter is when it happens in a purely accidental sense... i.e a man is on a ladder, someone opens a door and the door knocks ladder - guy lands on head and dies.
b, this is different to anti social conduct that could happen - kids find ladder, push ladder over, guy dies...
case a and case b would currently both come under manslaughter although one has the anti social intention to cause aggrivation/voilence...one is accidental. there has to be a worse punishment for the non accidental version which under current legislation is not high enough. the law and punishment currently only takes into account the direct action NOT the consequences.
a punishment should take into account of the original action and these consequences.
Sorry, the definition of murder is not 'he intentionally sought to cause physical harm to another person'. It's 'he wanted to kill the person' - which was not the case.
Why does that require a separate offence? The maximum sentence for manslaughter is already a life sentence, with a wide range of sentencing possible depending on the nature of the crime.
Why create something new?
Better use of the existing ones would have served better, namely sending them down for a damn sight more than 7 years combined.
