Guard Jailed for death of girl on train platform

[ryanman]

My only qualm is 5 years in prison. It is too much.

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

[Gandalf]

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