The wife of the Policeman is so upset
at losing her husband to this Scum Thief.

[He hit the 34-year-old officer at around 50mph in a stolen Mitsubishi L200 truck]

[Jurors at Manchester Crown Court cleared
him of murder and convicted him
of the alternative count of manslaughter.]

I think it's the right decision and the right sentence but this boy if the state give him help can easily change his life around he was failed from the day he was born now is the time to help him change.

He will probably be out in 7/8 years on parole if he is good and he needs a lot of help because deep down I think he can be a good person and he deserves a chance to change things around.

I agree that it was the right sentence but something tells me that if it was'nt a copper he'd killed and just your average joe public that he'd have got less time.

the punishment should be greater when emergency service personnel are targeted, I think.

Yes, as their lives are worth more on balance.

I disagree, I do agree with this punishment but think it should apply to any life

The emergency services are there to protect the public, its for that reason I think there should be tougher penalties when they come to harm

Totally off topic here but are you male or female BOTS? I was sure you said you were male and someone else I was speaking to is convinced you said you were female

the copper wasn't targeted though so the sentence is far to severe.

Aaah - The Laws of Cause and Effect.

If he had not freely arrogantly, and contemptuously, elected to steal someone else's car, then this tragedy would not have happened and a young man would not have had his precious life so cruelly and prematurely ended, a grief stricken young wife would not now be a widow with an uncertain future, and those poor young children would not have lost their daddy and have had their lives decimated.

The young cop might have been a little reckless in the way he chose to try to stop this car thief - but only because it was naive of him to expect someone so contemptuous of the law to actually stop - and the young cop was, after all, only trying to carry out the duties which we taxpayers pay him to do on our behalf.

I have zilch sympathy for the culprit because all my sympathy is for the victim and his wretched family, and if this sentence makes just one would be car thief/boy racer stop and think and desist, then it will have served its dual purpose as both punishment AND deterrent.

R.I.P to the cop and my deepest sympathy to his family.

Maybe you're in charge of some information not presented in court.

But I doubt it.

IF he had got time at all.

All I can think about is the poor policemans family.

Law enforcement officers are criminally undervalued.

I feel for the boy.

I don't agree with what he has done and he should be punished but nobody has ever cared about him, he was threw on the scrap heap from birth he has been damaged so there is no wonder he chose a life of crime when it could have been prevented.

No there is not you are talking bollocks.

He had one of the worst upbringings possible and not even child services cared enough when they should have.

Who lets a 6 year old do drugs?

Plenty have had worse and become model citizens

Don't make excuses for crims

Yeah that sentence was because he killed a policeman. Excellent for the families that justice was delivered in some sense but the phrase "you get less for murder" is becoming more and more trueful these days.

[thesheriff443]

this case has been played out in the news papers, so justice will be seen to be done.
He never set out to kill anyone and the police officer put himself in danger to stop a car thief.
He deserved to serve a prison sentence but not for that amount of time.
