Seriously attacking 6 people woth acid in 2 hours in order to try and nick mopeds and he only gets 10 years?

Given he was doing it for something so trivial/random he surely poses a danger to the wider public and should have had an indefinite sentence?

Reduced from 22 years for pleading guilty but still refused to identify his accomplice who has never been caught.

6 people in a few hours whos lives have been destroyed thsts more damage than some of the terrorist attacks over the years :/

Should himself be dipped in acid

So; sentence more than halved when pleading guilty. Does that mean the 10-year term is halved yet again? Only 5 years custodial and the other on license?

Shameful.

Indefinite sentence.

shocking that - 10 years time when they get out - theyll do it again.

Tefal · 12 Mar 2018 at 15:29

Hmm maybe it' this one specific judge

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-42411108

He gave 20 years to a man who threw acid across a crowded night club burning 22 people.

So I suppose the 10 years for 6 victims is at least a step in the right direction its more than 1 year per victim now :/

The first attack I heard about was years ago -

Horrible bloke who lived near me.

You don't think 20 years for that douche was enough?

Rannoch · 12 Mar 2018 at 15:35

No, the creep got acid over his own kids. He was a menace to everyone.

You think 11 months for an acid attack is a reasonable sentence?

I mean unless crimes come with a group discount is have thought indiscriminately attacking 22 people would get you an exponentially onger sentence than a single victim.

Especially given he has a history of threatening to attack people with acid and was on a suspended sentence at the time of the attack.

Again I'd say an indefinite sentence would have been the appropriate course of action

Edit oh wait do you mean the club attack or the other one?

Should not have any reduction whatsoever if he's withholding information like that. Our justice system too lenient.

see 20 years for a single victim seems more reasonable.

Especialy as it was a more "personal" case targeted against an individual in thier life not an indiscriminate attack against multiple random members of the public.

While no less horrific it does seem to suggest theyd be less of a danger to the general public

Edit wait didnt see the kids also got hurt, nope 20 years too short.

I'm for life means life.
And multiple life means death.

This crime is definitely death-worthy.

Maccy · 12 Mar 2018 at 15:54

So he'll serve half of that and be out in 5 years. a) what is wrong with people and b) what is wrong with our justice system?!

Roar87 · 12 Mar 2018 at 15:56

He should've been taken for an Escobar helicopter ride
