On the news recently, a grandmother and aunt who tortured and neglected a little girl to death were given sentences one might expect for a robbery, even with no violence involved. |

Our justice system sucks, the sentencing is really haphazard and so often unjust. That poor little girl suffered so badly, those who loved her must be devastated at what she went through only for her evil aunt and grandmother to get away with what they did. Hope they get their comeuppance inside from other prisoners. |

Prisoners attacking other prisoners is not justice either. |

The woman killed the man without his consent. His family say it wasn't what he wanted and are very upset at not saying goodbye to him. |

So was I. He was a committed Christian as was she. He had said he wanted to die in his own time, it was not his wish to be smothered. therefore she not only broke the law but, if he was as she says her friend, she betrayed his wishes. |

Talking of our justice system, according to a senior judge, a woman to boot, it is OK for a man to beat his wife and children if it is part of their "culture". |

I can't understand the justice. |

She didn't say it was OK, she said that cultural differences should be taken into account and that education was the key. |

PatrickM, in one case the jury could not be certain that the death was intentionally caused.. In the other case it was clearly murder. The sentence for the murder was a minimum of nine years not life. |
