roadkill Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 The uncle of a five-year-old girl whose dog mauled her to death has been jailed for eight weeks at Liverpool Magistrates' Court. i personally dont think justice has been done on this issue, he knew the dog was outlawed but thought he was above the law. the punishment should have been five years!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/6661493.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Doesn't seem much does it? No doubt if the girl killed was a minority then he would have got 20 years for hate crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 He was convicted of owning the dog, not the manslaughter of the girl. His Mother is to stand trial later in the year on the Manslaughter charge. That sentence was probably the maximum they could award for that particular offence. I'm amazed that nobody took any action against him prior to the offence if they knew he owned such a dog, after all, he was a convicted drug trafficker. No doubt the Old Bill were too busy prosecuting the local vicars wife for doing 34 in a 30 limit. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 8 weeks. to be worn like a medal when he gets out. what gone wrong in the uk. He'll be out in 4 if not sooner and with a tag if the prisons are bursting or if he is a security risk (i.e. the other prisoners take offence to his presence). No more than 4, mark my words. You would get more for not paying your Council tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
