This is a really frustrating area of our Judiciary. I used to play golf with a practising Judge, and he just could not relate to the average working person. Wealthy family background, Boarding School, Public School, Oxford University. He is chauffeured everywhere and whilst working lives in a secure residence with servants. Until we are able to get sensible, normal streetwise people into the judiciary, nothing will change.Burglary is a serious offence, but a "nonse" should be hung by their bollocks.

Depending on the actual cases - dont forget a guy who looks at porn featuring a 14 year old girl claiming to be 18 would also be scentanced under sex offender laws as much as somebody who has raped a 2 year old. one would obviously get a much harsher scentence than the other yet both would be labelled (somewhat unfairly in my opinion) as nonses or peado scum (or what ever the phrase of the day in The Sun is).
Similarly people are often complaining that theyre property isnt safe any more, that they wish for the good old days when you could leave doors unlocked and happily flash your cartier watch. Perhaps the said burgler had robbed a string of old ladies, perhaps he was on charge for agrivated burgelry. Maybe he had even stolen the evidence pertaining to an oh so emotive paedophilia case - now doesnt the little darling deserve the 6 years some what more than the poor guy who unknowingly looked at the picture of a teenage girl?
and yes there are serious flaws with the judicial systemn in this country, mainly to do witht he legislature surrounding the releases of evidence to defense council. However i think it is overly cynical to automatically assume that the majority of judges and magistrates are corrupt. certainly there are some who are, and some who are shady, but realy how many of us dont have somthing in our past we'd rather keep a little quiet.
Things certainly need to be adjusted especially with the litanny of new laws being created all the time in the UK, but can you think of a better way right now?

Because the judicial places property above human life's. Everyone seem to feel so strongly about this terrible injustice, but does anyone really get involved ? Do you write to the Legislature and Courts, then register to vote and help make some changes by voting. If you a resident of the UK, you will have even greater injustice there, reading the British Papers, it is unbelievable what the perverts get away with in Britain. The US and Britain both need to overhaul their judicial systems and get rid of some of these unethical and unjust judges.

What's that saying, 'the laws an ***'. I have read some of the other comments above mine and a few people are debating whether or not you have your facts right. You have! I read recently about a man stealing a car and smashing it. It's a terrible crime but nobody died thank god. So basically, his crime was taking without consent and dangerous driving. He got 2 years. On the next page was a story about a man who systematically abused an 8 year old girl for years. He got 2 years too! Need I say more....good! Because this stuff gets me mad and it's a sunday so I don't want too!

by nonse i assume you are talking about a pedophile who has actually abused a child rather than been in possession of indecent photographs?
not sure where you got your figures from but im pretty sure that 3 years is a minimum sentance for indecent acts with a child.
Its very rare for a burglar to get 6 years, im assuming there must have been a string of prior convictions hence the lengthy sentance

The justice systems all f*cked up mate, just because some tosser behind a desk thinks its a good idea to let people like that back on to the streets. I would lock em up and throw away the key. However, burglars are no angels either!

The burgler deserves 6 years the nonse deserves the death sentence but if you look closely at most of the judges they themselves seem very shady and usually should of retired years ago.

It defies belief. I think it is right though that the burglar had 6 years but oh so wrong that anybody who abuses children should have anything less than life.

The law shoulden't fail like this. Money is more important to human life to the government.
Something is very wrong. No common sense at all. ******* failures.
