Same judge

Quote:

The judge who told a burglar he was “brave” was under fire again yesterday for letting a paedophile walk free because he would “suffer” in jail.

Mark Martin, 24, was already on a suspended jail sentence for possessing child porn but Judge Peter Bowers ruled he should not be locked up after police found 48 more vile images on his phone.

Passing another suspended sentence, Judge Bowers said: “I think you would suffer very badly in prison and I don’t think, at the moment, it is necessary to send you there.

“I am going to give you another suspended sentence but you have to understand it is the very last chance you are going to get.”

Campaigners blasted the punishment as “remarkably short-sighted” and said that Martin should be behind bars...
This judge should be sacked.

What a load of bollocks. As if the justice system isnt soft enough without dicks like this deciding on punishments :rolleyes:

All that is wrong with the British Judicial system,stupid judges like this,he's probably lifted a few things himself.

Lets all hope this Judge is at home asleep in his bed and burglars break into his home violently attack him trash his house and take nearly everything of value.

Then he might realise he has a responsibility to protect ordinary hard working people from having their lives ruined by these criminals. Perhaps he might take his job a little more seriously instead of worrying about the rights of the Burglars.

Some judges are notoriously cosseted and out of touch and like every other area of life, they're the ones who get the attention. This one needs to be weeded out before stories like this colour everyone's judgement against the majority of legal professionals who actually do their best in the system in which they work.

I agree, thankfully Judges like this are in a very small minority.
