Speckled Frost Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Five years isn't unreasonable for manslaughter and it was a jury that cleared him of murder. I'm not surprised the appeal failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 He was convicted of the manslaughter of his wife but the sentance was appealed: http://www.iomonline.co.uk/ViewArticle2.as...ticleID=1217217 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The thing I always find strange is that in cases like this and other different cases in the past is that guidelines and sentencing in the UK are refered to. As we're not part off the UK and the Manx Law is different, how much so, I don't know, and You have to be a member of the Manx Bar to practice law here, why do they keep doing it? I would have thought as We are supposed to have our own set-up, why can't the courts sentence as it seems fit for that paticular case. Maybe someone with a background in Law could explain as it seems a strange way off doing things to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 How sick are you? Wins?? What has he won FCMR? he has lost his wife and his children and his freedom...I'd say thats more of a loss wouldn't you? I don't really think the subject should be discussed on a forum anyway.

Hi Bees - i agree with the first part of your post, but i don't understand why it shouldn't be discussed on a forum, surely that's what these things are here for. Now, you might not agree with the thread but that's no reason not to discuss is it? I'm not having a go, just don't understand the comment that's all.

What has he won FCMR? he has lost his wife and his children and his freedom...I'd say thats more of a loss wouldn't you? I don't really think the subject should be discussed on a forum anyway. He murdered his wife, even though he intended to kill himself. His children have no mother, is that fair? To lose his freedom for just 5 years isnt as much as a loss as it is to the woman he murdered. Im sure he will continue to see his children, there is no reason for him not to once he is released. 5 years is a disgrace and sends out a good message to all wife batterers over here, kill the missus and get away with it. Before anyone flames me, im a survivor of a wife batterer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't know much about this case but something you said intrigues me.... do you mean he meant to kill himself rather than his wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyconcrete Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm worried it will set a precedent. I did actually think 5 Years was far to little. I always thought ManSlaughter was causing death by accident (e.g. Car crash, freak punch during a fight etc) - I can't see how stabbing someone (multiple times) can be un-intentional. .. ...

FCMR Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 When a marriage or partnership breaks up everyone takes the females side, its only the poor woman that gets hurt, hes a wicked bastard, heard it all before. But no one thinks about the hurt the male goes through when a relationship breaks up and who gets the kids. A wife can go about the town getting pissed and screwed by every Tom Dick & Harry while the Husband is away working and the kids are roaming the streets. they get divorced and who has to pay THE HUSBAND.

Observer Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 That is a really (offensive) stereotypical response and I am resisting the urge to totally rip it to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
