Which brings me to this story in England. A man and his family were threatened with their lives by intruding criminals. The victims defended themselves and then some. They went to jail while the perpetrators went free.
Turns out the judge has a sad track record of lenient sentences for serious offenses.

ReplyDeleteAlas, I fear that we are not the only country to employ judges who would benefit from a spell in jail!

ReplyDeleteIt's quite a thing to watch judges interpret and make final judgments.
That story in England is something else. I guess they did go overboard but what I can't get my head around is how the criminals escaped jail!
