Sentences too harsh!

Perhaps you don't have to wait for a shower to get wet mate.

But I can inform you, yes it's wrong.

Unless someone is a degenerate apologist.

No one, not even Edwards, doesn’t think it isn’t wrong!

Once again though you miss the point.

The point was whether the sentence was appropriate, given the guilty plea, the fact that he received the images and was not involved in their production or distribution and was assessed as having a low risk of reoffending.

Given all of those his sentence was bang in line with similar cases. That he was a high profile individual plays no role in this case as his fame was not involved in committing the crimes.

So the decisions to let many guilty and child perverts walk free ‘can be implemented correctly’. Ok, gotcha. How very forensic. It’s enough to make you feel sick.

No, so that the CPS have a full understanding of the thinking behind the sentencing guidelines being issued to the Judiciary.

Guidelines drawn up by professional experts and not by angry wound up right wingers who think throwing people in jail is always the answer for any crime they find particularly abhorrent.

He didn't just receive them though. He paid between £1000 and £1500 to receive them.

So locking up "extreme right wing rioters" will discourage others but a suspended sentence will be enough to discourage others doing the same as Edwards.

If you did nothing wrong then you won’t be charged.

It’s sometimes unfortunately necessary for the Police to take time to establish the facts.

I would need to check the reports but from memory I am not certain whether they were payments directly made in return for the images or just general gifts to someone he had established an online relationship with.

I do recall it being said he asked that no underage ones be sent, relenting later after encouragement.

The primary point in his favour though, when the sentence was being calculated, was that he was a consumer and neither a producer nor a distributor. Thus he was regarded as lower down the severity scale. Much as a drug user is not regarded as seriously as a manufacturer or a pusher. A drug user is often given help. So has he.

What did she do differently to that for which others have been imprisoned?

Different crimes. Different sentencing guidelines and targets.

I am not an expert on how these things are calculated and the objectives achieved.

Are you?

Of course I am. In fact I am an internationally recognised authority. Why would anyone who wasn't an expert have an opinion on anything?

You just disagree with everything for some kind of interest or challenge, only you’re nearly always wrong, especially here. You keep going on about deterring others to commit the same crime, yet not for nonces. What is it about nonces you’re willing to protect? And don’t just waffle on about different crimes and sentencing guidelines. Recognise the need to deter. You did for right wing dissenters, why not nonces?

So why on earth do people keep replying?

It's so much better when you can't see it.
