Due to the terrible consequences of their planned attacks, had they not been stopped by undercover anti-terror police, should they have received much harsher sentences, than the ones they are likely to receive?
/// They admitted the crime after a Goodyear hearing was held to give them an indication of their maximum sentences. ///
/// The judge, Mr Justice Wilkie told Chowdhury he would receive 18-and-a-half years and Rahman, 17 years. ///
/// But the duo will only serve in the region of six years - because five are served on licence, prisoners only serve half their term as standard and they have already been behind bars for more than 12 months. ///
Taking into consideration that these individuals are British nationals, they should be given much heavier sentences, as a example to any other of our would be traitors.

"But the duo will only serve in the region of six years - because five are served on licence, prisoners only serve half their term as standard and they have already been behind bars for more than 12 months."
that is speculation at this stage. they haven't been sentenced yet. you include it as though the quote came from the judge, as did (no doubt intentionally) the dm.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the way sentences used to have remand time taken off has changed. It is now taken into account at the time of sentencing, so if someone is told by the judge say, 18 years, then their sentence is 18 years. Prisoners can no longer apply for the remand time to be given back to them. But the minimum time they spend inside is still half the sentence so as in my example, 9 years.
