Getting away with murder
I have difficulty with this case in that I cannot understand why the jury found him not guilty of murder, and instead accepted that he was guilty of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility Husband guilty of stabbing Vodafone executive wife 30 times.
Nor can I understand why the judge only imposed a sentence of 9 years Husband who 'slaughtered' unfaithful wife could be freed in just THREE years.
If the judge had instead imposed a discretionary life sentence, would he have only set the tariff at 9 years? I think he got off very light considering. It is as though excuses have been made for him and his conduct. In a sense, justifying his conduct. For the life of me, I cannot see any justification whatsoever.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
