How do you measure self-defence?

When self-defence is relied upon it is for the court to make a factual finding of what actually happened and then make an assessment of whether the defendant's actions were reasonable. That will be a jury of 12 in more serious cases and a District Judge or two or more lay magistrates in the Magistrates Court. The idea is that they apply the views of society of what is reasonable.

But yes, every time a court reaches a verdict it is an expression of opinion. I don't see any viable alternative, but that's why I don't and never will support the death penalty.

If Reform can overturn Labour's massive majority in the inevitable by election they probably will be the next government.

It's very difficult to reconcile that sentence with the relevant sentencing guidelines and I'd be surprised if it wasn't at the very least suspended on appeal.

As long as the appeal takes longer than 10 weeks ��

And why should it take less, it would be a first. These legal types seem to drag everything out. They are the only ones who profit from the farcical system.
System needs to start afresh.

The need to have some viable policies could get in the way of that.

Will probably serve 4 weeks for a physical attack.

If he had gone home and wrote some naughty words on a X post he would be looking at over 2 years.

He would have gotten nowt inside if he had kiddy picks on his computer!

The two tier judicial system is a disgrace, to get just ten weeks for that horrific thuggish attack is no where near long enough.Amesbury has the bare faced cheek to appeal against this while still being paid his salary, funded by us the taxpayer.
