I know this is not possible, but shouldn't he now have to start his original light sentence of eight years all over again without any more releases, because it is obvious even though he has been given chance after chance, he still has not learnt his lesson?

To take something as large as a motorcycle back to a bail hostel knowing it to be stolen might make you think this chap, Preddie, isn't the sharpest knife in the box.
He'll probably spend the rest of his life in and out of prison.

A waste of skin and lungs, as usual, but we're never going to get real with criminals so we just have to grin and bear it.

complete savage with no redeeming features, perhaps one of our Liberal friends can explain why this pond life sees daylight.

[emmie]

he will be a revolving door recidivist, can't see that his life will ever amount to much, a terrible waste, more so of course for the family of Damilola.
Life sentence perhaps, but it wouldn't have been the case, he was a minor when he committed the offence, perhaps with some earlier intervention in his life this might have saved him and the poor boy he killed.

Shouldn't he have been given a life sentence?

No

Because he was convicted for Manslaughter
