DB; i think it has something to do with art fraud involving cash,does this mean that the justice system cares more for money than babies?

On the face of it, based on a few lines in a newspaper or on the internet this does seem illogical, however, the actual respective court cases would be detailed and sentencing would consider a number of items we can only surmise.
Not being familiar with either case here's some of the questions that the court would have considered before passing judgement...
Was it premeditated murder?
Was it the result of psycholological or mental impairment?
Was it an event that could or would happen again?
Did the accused show remorse?
Was it an accident which another person might have avoided?
Was the fraud a continued activity of the accused?
Was the fraud on people who would know no better?
Did the accused show remorse?
Did either of the accused plead guilty?
And there's probably another 20 or so questions you would need to have answered before a true non-judgemental opinion could be formed regarding the above court cases.
This is not to underestimate the tragedy of the child death, but we are not aware of the full details of either case.

Look at most cases in the news lately and its the same in vitually every case.MONEY IS GOD in the British legal system and the worst culprits are the bleeding hearts shouting for the human rights of the criminal while forgeting the victim.Go out and get drunk and run a child over and kill them you get nothing of a sentence and to my mind that is premeditated murder but as you say if its a money thing you will be getting a life sentence.Great system init

I agree with you about the sentence for art fraud. This case is abroad.
However, in this country Joyti De-Laurey was sentenced to seven years for stealing 4.3 million pounds. The punishment may seem to fit the crime but actually the people she defrauded were SO WEALTHY THEY DID NOT NOTICE THEY HAD 4.3 MILLION POUNDS STOLEN FROM THEM.
Yet if you mug an old granny for her last tenner you won't even get a prison sentence.
People like Joyti who commited essentially victimless crimes should be released from jail to make space for violent cirminals.
Who would you rather release? Joyti or a murderer?
Curently in Sheffield we have the situation that a man who has been convitced of killing two women and came very close to kiling a third person is likely to be released as his sentence has been cut to twelve years for his last murder.
Give white collar criminals non-custodial sentences. It is violent criminals that should be in jail.

That's easy! Because our country is completely lawless! Our judges are nothing but black robbed thugs that do what they want, not what the law says. They also play games and make deals with their lawyer buddies. It's called home towning, and has NOTHING whatsoever to do with justice! Ever think about it...black is most commonly associated with evil...right? So why do our judges wear black robes instead of some other color...like white...if they were truely seeking truth and justice! I guess that would be another good question to post on yahoo answeres.

Yes I agree, our generation today should be safe without having perverted stalkers not ceasing to forage around our youth. However, 4000 years? Lol, that is amusing, because I doubt anyone could live that long. Why don't they just sentence the molester to a life-time of jail without probation. It sounds a lot more ethical and gives the man what he deserves.

This country puts a higher importance on monetary value than it does human life. You see it all the time e.g paedophile gets suspended sentence, burglar gets 3 years. What must other countries think of our twisted legal system.

Yes, it`s not as if he is a danger to the public is it? Out prisons are bursting at the seams, muggers and the other toe rags are let of with a slapped wrist. In a few years his art fraud will be very collectable and he or his decendants will become rich. .............it`s a mad,mad world.

i totally agree with you we have been debating this on the local website
one comment was he would of got less if he had battered some person to death with the art piece
his parents need him at home , he is not a danger to the public
it will cost the goverment more for his keep in prison and his parents care , many people are disgusted with the decision

Because the British justice system is severely flawed.
