What kind of message does this give out, not only to other potential mobile phone thieves, but more importantly, to the family of this poor policewoman? Neither of the two apologised for this woman's death.
170 iPhones are stolen across London every day Police said a total of 56,680 mobile phones were stolen in the capital in the six months between April and September this year — and half of those were iPhones.
Wouldn't a more stricter sentence have gone a long way to get the message over that this kind of crime will not be treated lightly?

i understand your point, but you cant blame them for her death - they didnt kill her.
if it wasnt them it would have been someone else ... it would have happened at some point.
superfit triathlon runners dont just keel over and die because they run after someone... clearly something was wrong with her, and it would have happened regardless.
they are guilty of pinching an iphone, not manslaughter or murder.
i agree the fine and punishment is too low though... £42.50 is hardly a deterrent, and they are too young to fully comprehend the affects of having a criminal record.

/// What is the alleged offenders first offence? if not what do you see as a suitable punishement? ///
Not 'alleged' offenders, 'convicted offenders, their first offence caused the death of a policewoman while she was pursuit of them, so a suitable punishment would be imprisonment in a young offenders institution.
/// And could I point out that it is actually iphone 5's that are stolen at a rate of 170 per day what about the 4 and 4s? ///
Oh how remiss of me, did I fail to quote the model? And sorry for not knowing what colour are more sort after.
And since you are being so pedantic, could I point out that it is actually 'punishment' and not 'punishement' as you have incorrectly put?,

/// They didn't cause her death AOG ......///
I still consider that they did, perhaps not intentionally but had they not committed the crime, she would not have had cause to run after them, not knowing if she had caught up with them she might be facing a death from stabbing.
All this must have been in her mind plus the exertion of the chase, all bringing on stress and physical pressure, could have caused her death.
Yes I agree she could have died in other similar circumstances, but she didn't she died chasing them.
/// Using your logic Tottenham hotspur players were responsible for Fabrice Muambas cardiac arrest. ///
There are several possible causes of Fabrice Muamba’s cardiac arrest.
The one which most commonly kills young athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A genetic defect, it causes part of the heart muscle to thicken in about one in 500 people. It is most serious in the young and is exacerbated by exercise.
In some countries, such as Italy, screening for this condition is mandatory for footballers and sufferers are not allowed to play. But in Britain it is up to individual clubs.
So one could say that perhaps Bolton Wanderers should have screened him for the condition, before allowing him to play.

Why did you only address FGT post AOG?
their first offence caused the death of a policewoman while she was pursuit of them, so a suitable punishment would be imprisonment in a young offenders institution.
It's a good job Fabrice Muamba didn't die chasing the Spurs players then ........you would also want them to see them in prison I guess?

/// Has he cause of this fit young policewoman's death been established yet? ///
/// How can you know whether it had anything to do with the
chase? ///
It will be extremely coincidently if it has not.
And if it found that it has, will they then be rearrested and charged with manslaughter?
I very much doubt it somehow.

People die at work all the time and this is no different. She died doing something she had probably done hundreds of times before.
The fact she was answering this particular call on that day does not mean it was the cause of her death which was undoubtedly an undiagnosed medical condition.
It was unfortunate to have happened when it did, but blaming the thieves for her death is barmy.

she was super fit according to colleagues, and the delay in the emergency service getting to her didn't help
