I have mentioned before the propensity of the Taffy 'Crown Non-prosecution Non-service' to allow murderers to cop a plea of manslaughter because it saves them the trouble of convicting for murder whilst judges condone the practice because they have no desire to rock the legal boat and miss their chance of a higher bench to upon which to park their fat arses. Today we have another example in which a Swansea drug addict had an argument with his female partner who returned from the kitchen with two knives. A fight ensued and having relieved her of these weapon he stabbed her not once, not twice, but three times. He then, and here I urge those of you with either a full stomach or a sensitive disposition to read no further, helped himself to some heroin concealed in her private parts. When arrested he came up with a string of lies to avoid his culpability. Mr Justice (don't laugh) Saunders sentenced this piece of half-life to an indeterminate sentence, but before you congratulate him, he allowed the perp to apply for parole in four years and indicated that it should be granted if the defendant could convince some dopey social worker that, 'honestly, guv, I've really given up the 'H'.' Someone should try injecting Mr Injustice Saunders with a shot of commonsense!

If the man wasn't a drug addict, you would be condemning the sentence for being too harsh. Its the disproportionate force issue that got him sentenced.

Hello, 'ZitZit', I thought you had forsworn these premises. Anyway, a tentative welcome back!
As for the murderous swine featured above, I couldn't care less whether or not he's a drug addict, I would have hung him anyway if I had my way.

"...indicated that it should be granted if the defendant could convince some dopey social worker that, 'honestly, guv, I've really given up the 'H'.'"
Well, that shouldn't be too difficult.
"Its the disproportionate force issue that got him sentenced."
Yeah, it was the two knives, I guess. Stabbing her and violating her near-corpse would have been ok if he'd just used one, I suppose...?

Indeed, Julia, but one cannot help admiring his dexterity under the influence of drugs in that he stabbed her twice in the neck and then again in the heart. A careful worker, you see!

Well David, I know you visit my blog and I do visit yours on occasion, so why not leave a comment?
Read the link again Julia before you try sarcasm.

'Try' sarcasm...? I rather think I've mastered it, actually.
I have had soooo much practice dealing with your kind, after all....
