...just 40 minutes after Judge Beverley Lunt handed out her sentence, Daniel posted on Facebook: “Beverly Lunt go suck my C***. Cannot believe my luck 2 year suspended sentence beats the 3 year jail yes pal!”Lest you think he's the only cretin in the family...
Less than an hour later his dimwit brother Samuel commented: “What a day it’s been Burnley crown court !! up ur ass aha nice 2year suspended f*** the 3year in forest bank.”Whoops!
But to their horror the posts were brought to the attention of the judge and they were brought back to Burnley Crown Court so she could review their sentence.
She said she had let them both off with a two years prison term suspended for 18 months because of their supposed “remorse and contrition”.What? You mean that wasn't sincere? Well, you could knock me down with a feather!
Judge Lunt said they had both claimed to have “changed” and got themselves jobs - but they had now shown their true colours.
She fumed about their social media posts: “It is plain they were never intended for me to see it. One is 40 minutes at most from passing sentence and one is one hour 25 minutes after I passed sentence.
“The content is differed but both have offensive sexual elements to them.
“I am not suggesting that they now need to go to prison for four years. It is the issue of the suspension.
“Would I have done so had I appreciated their true views and what they really thought of the court proceedings?”So....you really believed their contrition was real? Good grief!
Judge Lunt allowed both defence barristers seven days to get the full transcript of the last court case before she makes a decision.Shouldn't they already have these to hand?

ReplyDeleteOur courts are full of naive judges, magistrates and corrupt lawyers. The criminal justice system is broken like all the other bodies that provide services and goods to the public and are funded by the state. The solution to this for most of those bodies and institutions is either not to have them or place them in the private sector. For those that are necessary and neither of those options are available for them then the left and progressives should not be allowed to be anywhere near them.
ReplyDeleteThat solution of course will never catch on who does not want to suck from the generosity of the states teat and who does not want to tell others what to do and get paid for it. Sometime not get paid as the feeling of power is just as rewarding. The good of society is nothing compared to the need to feed the avarice and domination ambitions of certain groups and people. We should look at ourselves in the mirror and ask are my views and actions for the good of all or just for me and if just for me are they harmfull or not to others. No doubt if we did most of us would not like the answer or had no conscience so therefore did not give a tinkers........
That case is a couple of months old...
ReplyDeleteThey had the suspensions revoked and both went to jail for 2 years: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/26/drug-dealing-brothers-jailed-after-mocking-judge-on-facebook
I understand that both defendants used, or should that be 'abused' the legal aid system. If so, that means we, you and me, paid for their individual solicitors and barristers. How many thousands of Pounds did that cost us? A fairer method would be that, if found guilty, they should have to repay the cost or serve extra time for wasting taxpayers money in not pleading guilty in the first place.

To think we once fought wars against these people. Now we do nothing while they take over...
"That case is a couple of months old..."
Yeah, I've got quite a backlog of good stuff to blog on.

I would love to see this implemented.
