    A few years in jail

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7070827.stm

    Madrid bombers get long sentences

    Zougam and Ghanoui were found guilty of murder, and sentenced to up to 43,000 years in jail each.

      Yeah, the maximum time anyone can be in jail for in Spain is 40 years
      It's Deja-vu all over again!

        Personally I feel that sentencing anybody for longer than 20,000 years is getting a bit silly.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          An ASBO would have done to be honest.

            Maybe they are planning on inventing/leasing from Zeitghost some sort of eternal excruciation device, the kind only dreamed of by the Spanish Inquisition?

              When I read the title for this thread, I thought maybe Hector had gotten you for Tax Evasion and you'd be spending a few cold winter nights shacked up with a cellmate called bubba who would conveniently drop the soap in the shower and say 'Hey superstar, pick up the Soap!!!!'

                Ceefax last night reported that a spokesman for the victims families said that they felt that the accused got off lightly.

                  If you actually read the news properly, you would have found that some of those found guilty were only sentenced to 12 years.

                    Which part of "Ceefax last night" didn't you understand? There was no mention on the page of anyone getting anything else - under the headline of "Madrid bombers sentenced to thousands of years", the only thing they mentioned was that three of them were sentenced to huge sentences.

                    Final part of the page says that the spokesman says they got off lightly.

                    I can only be responsible for reading the news as presented to me - an excuse used by thousands of Daily Heil / Express readers.
