I don't know if this has been posted, and couldn't find the original thread of this case, but:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire...

Words fail me in cases like this - first, that someone actually assisted with his appeal, and secondly, that five years was lopped off an already short sentence. I don't normally go for sensationalist comments but this is just sick, and an insult to his victims and all who had to investigate the case. I know it's a minimum sentence, but what's the likelihood of him being imprisoned any longer if he doesn't cause any trouble in jail?

Comments?

A judge said the minimum term should be reduced because it was in line with those imposed for "serious murders".
Good job only some murders are serious.

Love to know the difference between a 'serious' murder and a 'non-serious' murder
