'Lenient Leigh' Strikes Again!

Zifiso Ncube had left a party in the early hours of July 8, 2018, and was making his way home when he started targeting cars in Pleasant Road, Southend.
The 23-year-old drunkenly stumbled into one car which “upset him” and so he proceeded to start smashing up three vehicles in the street.
One of the cars had to be written off. After hearing the noise, residents came out into the street and confronted Ncube who armed himself with a plank of wood.
And a broken bottle. With which he threatened to stab the residents.
Ncube was charged with three counts of criminal damage to property valued under £5,000 and one count of threatening a person with an offensive weapon in a public place.
Sentencing him at Basildon Crown Court yesterday, Judge Samantha Leigh said...
Oh, FFS!
Judge Leigh handed Ncube one year and six months but suspended the sentence for 12 months.
As conditions of his suspended sentence, he must complete 250 hours of unpaid work, 30 days of a rehabilitation activity requirement and the Thinking Skills programme. Ncube was also ordered to pay £320 in compensation and banned from entering Pleasant Road for two years.
So the next time this waste of oxygen gets drunk, he'll hopefully target Judge Leigh's neighbourhood...

If one of the crs had to be written off, I would suggest the minimum amount of damage would be £10 - £15,000 - AND HE HAD TO PAY HOW MUCH IN COMPENSATION? Not that he will pay it. Neither will he do the 250 hours unpaid work, or complete the rehabilitation or skills programme. Not that I know the man, but I know of people like him. People who the good Judge Samantha Leigh has never met outside the confines of her court, protected by the officers of the court and the very high desk she can hide behind.
Having a good old fashioned English name, there was never any danger that Ncube would be considered for deportation either.

I wonder if this guy has any possessions that cost him a lot and that mean something to him? My thought is that any such possessions should have been brought to the court and smashed up in front of him.

Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to say regarding this judge that hasn't already been said.

"Thinking Skills Programme" ?


Previously known as parenting.

Sadly true...

"My thought is that any such possessions should have been brought to the court and smashed up in front of him."

That would be TRUE 'restorative justice'!

"Previously known as parenting."

It's unlikely that there's been any of that.

Or in the perp's life either!
