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?

Looking Back. How Helpful To The Christian Faith Was The King's Speech?
