    7 years sounds about right, only he should not be able to get out in half time.

          It's a shame he wasn't the one travelling in the Toyota, it’s the Chelsea tractor that saved his life and destroyed a family no doubt.

            I think they will appeal this down.

            To his credit he did admit to the offence and plead guilty.
            I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

              If you start giving life for these then those people won't have anything to lose - they'd know they get life anyway, so they'd kill some other people as well.

              The wrong thing is release before tariff is fully served - there should not be such thing as early release at all, if you don't behave in prison you should get extra years on top of sentence.

                That made it at least 3 years off, so if he got 7 years now then it's pretty harsh by current standards. Horrible crime for sure but there are much worse.

                  I wonder why middle class moms drive giant 4 tonne bull-bar coated 4x4's these days?
