Be out in 6 years. Don't sound right to me.

[bednobs]

10 years for manslaughter (I thought) was on the high side of "normal"?

> Brehmer, of Hordle, Hampshire, said he had strangled Mrs Parry by accident during a "kerfuffle" in his car and that his arm "must have slipped in all the melee".

This, from a police officer, as a defence against murder, seemed pathetic.

doesn't it take several minutes to strangle someone to death?

[Spicerack]

Easy done. :-(

[iluvmargie]

Horrid man, how the hell do you strangle someone by 'accident'??

[youngmafbog]

Hope it's increased. Should have swung IMHO.

that sounds about right for manslaughter, not unduly lenient. But that's if you think it was only manslaughter.
