[murraymints]

sentence has been increased from 6 years to 13 years 5 months..still not enough

[anneasquith]

" reckon he might be a target " for what MM ?

[murraymints]

well he can't run away can he ? and there will be those who want to either punish him for no more than his celebrity status..or other reasons...it takes little imagination !

[murraymints]

how the mighty fall,

[mikey4444]

Is it just me or do we seem to have been discussing this 'orrible man for years ?

[murraymints]

alas..but now it is for better reasons

[mikey4444]

Can't disagree with you there Minty, but lets hope there is now complete radio silence about this loathsome creature from now on.

[murraymints]

I think it is well and truly done and dusted for him this time..

[ludwig]

The original sentence was inadequate. This is better.

[jno]

he's being sentenced by degrees, which feels weird. It was originally manslaughter.

[murraymints]

there was always doubt that he had had favourable treatment because of his celebrity status, which is why the prosecution appealed, rightly so

[hereIam]

Still not enough and his misguided family will be fuming, but better than nothing I suppose. Horrid man.
