Anthony Walker's murderers sentenced

[jimslip]

"Paul Taylor, 20, who smashed an ice axe into the 18-year-old's head after ambushing him in a park in Huyton, Merseyside, in July, was told he will spend at least 23 years and eight months in jail.

His cousin Michael Barton, 17, Premiership footballer Joey Barton's brother, was told he would serve at least 17 years and eight months for the murder."

Now that's what I call a sentence! Good on yer judge!

So murder a man in cold blood for nothing other than wearing a different coloured skin and a fair sentence is 23 & 17 years.
So twat a will be back in society when he's 43 and Twat b will be back when he's 34. They'll claim social because of their traumatic experience and live happy ever after with state benifits.
Sorry but in my world that was a piss poor let off for a disgusting crime of nothing more than pure hate. LIFE should be life or at least till they are passed middle age not this latest insult to our lifestyle from yet another lilly liverd judge

Of course your right! But I thought they'd get 8 years maximum and be out in 4.

I expect they'll appeal and get out in 10 and then probably sue the Walker family, for "Undue stress" suffered during their confinement. I must admit I have absolutely no faith in our Criminal Justice System!

Racially motivated, ice axe----have to say they deserved more jail time.

I agree the sentence is right and good ... but what pisses me off in a big way is that had they killed a white man their sentence would have probably been half of that. In my books, a murder is a murder - and regardless of whether it was racially motivated or not, the tariff should be the same ... is somehow the killing of a white by Asians (as highlighted last week) not as bad? This will go to the European Court ... and they will be out in 12 years, because the law is not being applied evenly. The moral of the story is ... if you kill a black man, then you may as well go and kill a white and a Chinese for good luck ... because then it won't look racially motivated and more random violence/insanity ... net result is a shorter sentence.

"killed a white man their sentence would have probably been half of that"

Yes a life is a life no extra or less sentence. Life sentence should be exactly that, if it's not lets call it another dam name....

How was the Judge convinced the AXE was not for violent means but was just for use in burglaries. So if they had gone to Wales and broke in and disturbed the owner they would have put it down!!!! Don't quite know where I am going with this so I'll just go back to LIFE should mean LIFE no extra/less for who you killed.

It's simple if you kill someone admit it and with all relevant dna etc your life against you. Your life should end too. We now have to keep these two twats in jail for 20 years on our tax. A life for a life it should be.

[Mad Burt]

Yeah but watch this space these wankstains will be out in half that time owing to good behaviour and having found christ whilst cleaning the guvnors mota. I dont think they should die for what they did but perhaps a life of missery in a rat infested chinesse style jail would be about right with bread and ice cold water and then lets see if there racist mates also want to follow in their scum bag shoes.

I may be wrong but my mate is a coppper and I'm sure he once told me that the 50% off your sentence for good behaviour doesn't apply to long sentences like these cocks both got today so hopefully they'll serve the lot. However I'm sure they'll be no end of bleeding heart do-gooders campaigning for them soon enough. Either that or some bullshit rule from Europe that has them doing community service for a week instead!
