What will the gunsmith pull?

A gunsmith who set up a factory in his garden shed to make murder weapons for gangland Britain will be sentenced today.

Grant Wilkinson drove a Porsche and entertained his girlfriend in five-star hotels with the profits he made from converting replica machine pistols to fire live ammuntion.

His guns were were used in nine London murders, including the shooting last year of Michael Dosunmu, 15. Another was fired in Bradford during the robbery in which PC Sharon Beshenivsky was killed in 2005.

I don't know if he has any previous but what minimum term will this bit of scum pull today?

If he was of previous good character (probably not) and I was the judge I would give him 30 years minimum.However with a swarmy lawyer arguing for the turd I expect it will probably be 10 and he'll be out in 6.Any bets?

I saw a report in which he was described as being 'of no fixed abode' which in the context of the case probably means he's protected his assets . I think he got a twelve stretch didn't he ?
