"The highest-ranking judges in the UK deemed him not to be a danger to society and lightened his sentence, which was baffling.
"How can a man, who drove 300 miles to someone's house, to throw a pint of sulphuric acid on their face, and bugger straight back off, then not cooperate with the police, deemed not to be a danger to society?
"It just doesn't make sense."
No, it doesn't. But these days, we don't really expect our so-called 'justice system' to, do we?
Phillips was given a life sentence with a minimum term of eight years in October 2015 - but the life sentence was quashed a year later.
Judges instead imposed a 16-year sentence, saying he would be eligible for parole after he had served eight.
Is it me, or..?

The correct punishment in a case like this would be to blind the assailant on his release from prison, and to render him disqualified from receiving any form of state aid or benefits for the rest of his life. As I am rather humane, I would also provide him with some poison pills so that he could do himself in. The offer could be made at the start of the sentence, to save him being a cost to the taxpayer.
Re Anonymous - if you blinded him at the start of the sentence rather than at the end, he'd spend so much time trying to find the soap in the shower, who knows what levels damage or indignity he could suffer?
"As I am rather humane..."
Steady! 😂
"...he'd spend so much time trying to find the soap in the shower, who knows what levels damage or indignity he could suffer?"
