He won't serve 5. She will never take another breath. You cant make the argument that sentencing is too lenient for some and then say 5 years for manslaughter is too harsh. A jury would have been privvy to way more information and evidence than we are and they found him guilty.

Correct.

Not that it matters at all but the guard was a 'former' cannabis grower. The only reason I mention it is to muddy the waters of the 'hardworking guard' and the 'drunk drugged up teen'.

so why don't muggers and willing thieves get ten years then ?

Because his actions led to the death of someone that cannot be equated with theft.

deliberate criminals should be shot on second offence

or lose a limb

or their left bollock

Mark is right. A left bollock would suffice in a majority of cases.
