Turning our judges into politicians. Our politicians always act without flaw; we never have a complaint about them. Four years for a guilty plea to assault and uttering threats (not attempted murder, because that was not the charge) isn't a bad sentence. - hinch1 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:58:25 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080807145156/local/news/crown-recommends-four-year-sentence-for-man-in-axe-attack.html#comment-9732 Judges might start protecting society when they are Elected rather than Appointed. The legal system is a sick joke. - allniter Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:10:40 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080807145156/local/news/crown-recommends-four-year-sentence-for-man-in-axe-attack.html#comment-9729 I find this absolutely disgusting - four years for attempted murder. I guess if he had killed him, he would have gotten five, with time served! Reassuring to know in less than four years this lunatic will be back on the streets. Wonder if buying an axe constitutes owning a weapon? When will laws and judges actually start protecting society? - travhops Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:42:51 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20080807145156/local/news/crown-recommends-four-year-sentence-for-man-in-axe-attack.html#comment-9725 4 years, and the judge has to decide yet? Pretty light sentence to ask for, considering the tax dollars the government is losing in earnings from the victim, and tax dollars spent on housing the perpetrator. Guess crown council should make sure this guy don't get a hand on any utensils other than plastic ones also. Yah, like, right... - Thoughtful Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:30:25 +0100
