Is the justice system a joke?

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, admits shooting Anuj Bidve in Salford on Boxing Day but denies murder.

When the prosecution asked if he hoped psychiatric reports would prevent him being jailed, he said: "To be honest, I'm not bothered."

He told Manchester Crown Court: "I love prison. I watch Coronation Street. I have got a fat canteen."

"I love prison. Lock me up for 65 years."

Looking to the jury from the witness box, he added: "Does this face look bothered?

"I have even got a new rug and bedding coming for my cell. I'm not bothered."

If that isn't proof as to how the justice system in the UK is a complete laughing stock, then I don't really know what is. :mad:

yes and no. The justice system is a joke for sure, however this is more of a case as to why we should castrate and bung/sew up people on council estates and licence childbirth to those who have an education, money and a stable environment.

Bovvered mate, BOVVERED?

Hope he gets his wish and nobody but those who want to ever has to look at his mug again.

The justice system is not designed to treat stupidity.

He wont get his wish. Thats the problem.

He will instead get 12 years and be out in 2 for good behavior. He will then be sent for "therapeutic" trip to Spain and be given "counseling" and "psychiatric help".

Yea. Justice. UK style.

Like I said before people like this should enter prison in a van and leave in a coffin. True life sentence.

This is not an indication of anything other than the fact that this guy is a ****

It's only proof that he won't admit he's beaten.

"It's ma ball and you're no playin" said one Glaswegian wean to the other.
"Fine, I didnae want to play your game onyway."

Our joke of a justice system was one of the biggest factors in me deciding to resign from my job within the police about 9 years ago, and things have only gotten worse from what i can see.

I fail to see how anything in that article and this thread shows that the UK Justice system is a joke.

Here's hoping he gets raped in prison then.

Well it's not deterred this guy from killing, maybe society could do something to prevent him from doing the crime.

Jk. It's a joke this animal needs locking up for a long time without any of the luxuries he's expecting

Because it's not, anyone with half a braincell knows we have one of the best justice systems in the world.
Obviously daily fail and sun readers won't know this because most of them lack the ability to think for themselves!

Dj_Jestar · 9 Jul 2012 at 18:03

Or are too busy avoiding the justice system themselves

We don't really, but not for the reasons alluded to in the OP. We imprison too many people and don't do any where near enough rehabilitation. Obviously this means spending money on prisoners which is politically unpopular so doesn't get done.

I think this thread can go in the 'worst example to use to illustrate a point' box.
