Default Karen Matthews sentenced...

to 8 years - 4 in jail, 4 out on license. So she drugs & kidnaps her daughter in an attempt to gain £50k reward money, and plays the distraught mother on national tv and yet apparently she isn't evil

weird about terms isn't it- look at those 3 in london this week who got 6-8 yrs for raping and then burning a girl with caustic soda whilst filming it.

I'd say that crime was significantly worse. At least that sentence is being queried.

mind you I'd be happy to see people being shot in the face for driving with their foglights on, or no seatbelt or like the **** in new earswick in a silver impreza yesterday afternoon, talking on his mobile phone.

I wonder who'll pay to re-home her when she comes out ?

I assume it would be unsafe to put her back in the same house, next to all her "friends" who printed up flyers, did door to door searches and managed to stop smoking for few hours to raise money to help

Pathetic does not even come close !

Well done judge person! Arsehole!

Not only is the prison sentence far too lenient I think she should be forced to pay back all the tax payers money she wasted on police searches etc.

Basically whatever she earns between now and her death should be taken away from her and just be given a small allowance that is just enough to get by on. Then you have the choice - eat or spend on ****/booze.

[QUOTE=lightning101;8448564]I wonder who'll pay to re-home her when she comes out ?

As per usual,that bill will be paid for us-with a nice relocation package thrown in too.And the cost of extra policing wherever she lives as well as the police will now have a duty of care
And after a period of time,social services will no doubt give shannon back to her after she has had a few classes in parenting.
You cant make it up,but thats how it'll happen

I think it was evident when it first happened, we weren't dealing with exactly the best of society. Yes they'll be rehoused at great expense elsewhere with all the costs following that.

As for working: do you really think any of that lot have ever worked a day in their lifes ?

its a shame we don't have penal colonies anymore.

8 years is just not enough for what she did and hardly acts as a deterrant or sends out the right messages.

more like double would suit the crimes she commited imho

"tough on crime my ***", sentencing reviews seem to have gone by the wayside and more concern over to few prison spaces/places seem to affect the sentence more than the severity of the crime(s)

Yet another example fo cr@p sentencing and taking the increase in knife crime seriously
One in six knife offenders sent to jail - London News

and the result is
Gun crime falls, but knife offences on the increase - Crime, UK - The Independent


and you have to wonder how some judges become judges and wether they are fit to judge...

As I said: rubbish. EIGHT year gaol term. Eligable for release on licence depending on the report of her probation officer.

I think the best part of her sentence was when the judge told her she was too stupid to have planned the thing herself.....

and when she comes out she can have more kids - should sterilise the biatch to prevent her producing anymore kids to mistreat.

If anybodyy saw he docco on her and he behaviour prior to the kidnapping you will know what i mean - she is not a parent or mother at all!

Sounds harsh but I hope she gets beaten to death in prison. This woman is scum of the lowest form. She just leeches off society and is a benefit to nobody.

Nothing acts as a deterrent if these scum think they will not be caught.

Paul: dont you feel that that is a little too right wing, in a knuckle dragging tattooed sort of a way? Popular with the hard of thinking right wing SN Militia of course.

No, not really, do you think she should have more children?

I do not see anything wrong with wanting to prevent a woman from having more children after staged the kidnap of her own daughter and drugged her for 6+ months.

If you feel that i am a knuckle dragger then perhaps it makes you a PC right on liberal w@nker (if you feel she has the right to more children) which i do not think you really are, having read a lot of your other posts on all sorts of subjects

. I do feel strongly about people who have kids then abuse them and do not look after them and put them in harms way and in this case for personal gain financially.

She is the lowest of the low IMHO

Of course I dont, but I dont think that we can send her to a death camp and Dr.J.Mengler remove her womb either.

With regards to the rest of your rant, my comment was clearly not directed at you, so put your toys back in the pram.

There is no such thing as a justice system in the western world, only a "legal" system. Money talks!

Hardly a rant, more a pov - you Dr Mengele & death camp comments are a bit emotional and OTT, simple procedure on sweet little Karen, in hospital would do the trick.

Maybe you need to chill a little
