Sentences Were Derisory.

I watched a TV programme yesterday about three very serious crimes being investigated by Lancashire police. 
The sentences imposed on an arsonist who tried to kill and the deliberate stabbing of a young man which came within a whisker of taking his life brought sentences which can only be described as trivial.
The Post Office armed robbery in Rishton - aided by a corrupt counter clerk - stole £186,000, most of which was not recovered.
The counter clerk got TWO years as did two of the other members of the gang. A fourth man got three.
At the latest, these men will be back on the streets in 18 months - AND they seemingly get to keep the cash!
Civil proceedings to recover the monies will clearly be necessary.
Just how low has our injustice system sunk?
