Rejected petition Campaign against the Justice System issuing lenient sentences
More details
Do you feel aggrieved at the lenient sentences handed out by our Justice system? I propose the following:
- Stern sentences of not less than 5 years for those convicted of the current riots and to serve the whole term.
- Rapists and paedophiles to serve no less than a minimum of 10 years without probabtion.
- Those committing serious affray, GBH, muggings and robberies outside of the above mentioned riots to serve no less than 5 years.
- Those convicted of murder to serve no less than life, or greater where serial murders have taken place.. Absolutely no parole/probabtion or any hearing allowed to petition for early release. Those convicted of attempted murder with true intent to kill should serve a minimum of 15 years with the same conditions applied as for murderers
