Yeah, well, we'll see...
Speaking following the sentencing, DCI Collette O'Keefe from the Warwickshire Police Major Investigation Unit said: 'The level of violence shown by these offenders was truly shocking and Mr Hackett must have been terrified throughout.
'These three young people may not have intended to kill Mr Hackett but that is ultimately what happened, and like Mr Hackett's family, they will live with the consequences of their actions for the rest of their lives.'
Yeah, see that's the problem. They do get to live. And with the most pathetic of sentences.
The judge sentenced the girl to an 18 month detention and training (D&T) order and gave the boys two year D&T orders. The first half of the sentence will see the youths held in secure accommodation, before they are released under supervision in the community. All three admitted manslaughter at a hearing in January.
This country is broken beyond all repair, isn't it?

At times I wonder if there is some secret league table amongst judges whereby they compete to give out unfathomable sentences.
Points being awarded for things like this (undue leniency), and then on the other side 2 years for a "white lives matter" sticker (undue severity)
Just in the last week we've had a pedo with 5 previous convictions walking out of court a free man, it's just a daily assault on the rule of law.
Three obnoxious shits and three, probably legal aided, defence briefs, all paid for by the taxman. Nice to see our money going to good use.
The only good news is that their parents will have their child allowance stopped for a while, so there's a bit of saving there.

"At times I wonder if there is some secret league table amongst judges whereby they compete to give out unfathomable sentences."
If we discovered that was actually happening, it might be a good thing, since the alternative is that they really are naive.
" Nice to see our money going to good use."
I suppose everyone is entitled to a defence...
