> Mobile phone death driver sentenced to 4 years.
Bookmark topic
From the Beeb's site:
A lorry driver who was using his mobile phone just before he smashed into a stationary car and killed a 23-year-old woman has been jailed for four years...
Licence revoked for 7 years.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/5252872.stm
Only 4 years for taking a life, (albeit 'unintentionally') through negligence/ carelessness ...I wonder how the deceased's family feels about the sentencing...

This happens everyday. There is always, always, alway playground sentences handed out.
Families are ruined by speeding or drunk drivers and the killer gets a ban and a fine.
Someone else commits fraud and gets over 10 years.
They really let you know how much a human life is worth, don't they. Grrrr!!

the justice system is messed up, as someone said before (cant remember who) a murderer will get 4 years, while a minor crime get 16 years...

That's just a slap on the wrist if you ask me! What happened to the days with proper punishments? In Australia it's no better as well

i seen in tha paper . a previsoly convicted pedo was released after 7 years from a life sentence then he kidnapped a girl like a month after and asulted her.he got life and could be out in 5 years( if he is a good boy)the system for crime in this country is disgusting.
All life sentances should be life IMO
And causing any ones death shhould be more than 10 years and actual punishment. not just sit in a cell.

i dont get how life doesnt mean life??
i know its a drain on or economy. so why not bring back capital punishment?
you take a life, you get yours taken away. and all this talk of criminals being reformed?
once a criminal, always a criminal i say.
but then im for taking peoples hands that steal stuff... make the punishment far greater than the crime then people wont bother..
such as in the middle east,, you dont see crime there..
fatreg
PS Crime shouldnt pay by a long long way.

I totally agree with you. You kill somebody then you should be killed simple pimple. Preferably in the same way you killed your victim, or worse.
4 years is a disgrace a family has lost there daughter, grandaughter, niece, cousin etc etc and that guy will be free in 4 years time.
Absolutely no justice whatsoever!
