WTF!!! should be a MURDER charge!! they look a complete set of brainless thugs! hang em thats what I say! and eye for an eye! nuff said!! grrrr, stuff like this make me angry! this country has gone down the pan! They prosecuted them for murder but the jury was having none of it and couldn't decide on the manslaughter charge, hence the manslaughter re-trial. If the original jury had been given the evidence that this jury was presented with, then a murder convicted would have been the likely outcome, but yet again PC Plod cocked it up!
l444ry Posted 9 August 2006 Posted 9 August 2006 Now they can go into the holiday camp that is known as prison, where the system tries to work out whose fault it was that caused these little darlings to do this despicable deed.

They were both in detention when arrested so they are probably quite used to it by now!
Ultra Posted 10 August 2006 Posted 10 August 2006 At least they're off our streets... Though probably not for long enough.

If the original jury had been given the evidence that this jury was presented with, then a murder convicted would have been the likely outcome, but yet again PC Plod cocked it up! i can't see why there is not provision in the law so that a higher charge of murder can be brought later probably not a great example but for instance; if someone is caught doing criminal damages to property and arrested charged and convicted , could that person at a later date be charged with another crime if the damage to the property causes someone to be injured , eg falling masonary etc why does it seem being tried and convicted of one crime close the door on any higher charge?
Finnegan Posted 10 August 2006 Posted 10 August 2006 Nebdingo, what the fock are you on about? They cut a boy in the leg with a smashed bottle. Yes, that's a horrible, horrible thing to do - but it's not exactly the sort of thing you plan to do to kill somebody, is it? I am in no way condoning or justifying their actions, but it isn't really murder, is it? Now you go on ahead and you gobble down all that tabloid sensationalism, right-wing capital punishment bollocks and you enjoy it. Back in the real world I think a large percentage of people are glad to see the offenders finally caught, arrested and sentenced appropriately. In fact, here we go, straight from the horse's mouth: "Nobody can ever return our son to us, but it is a great comfort that justice has finally been done for Damilola."
Daggers Posted 10 August 2006 Posted 10 August 2006 I'm not right wing, but there has to be something we can do to a system that has allowed these boys to terrorise their estate for the best part of 10 years. Just reading through the catalogue of criminal offenses they committed, starting with the gang sex attack, shocked me. I see no reason why serial offenders, of whatever age, should be continually released back into the communities they metaphorically piss on.

I believe what I believe and I would love capital punishment to return! but BACK IN THE REAL WORLD this country has gone soft theres NO two ways about it!! punishments hardly EVER fit the crime. and in this poor lads case... I don't think they will be "sentenced appropriately" Just my thoughts. If you don't like it, you will just have to agree to disagree!
