“not this again”
I’m guessing you are referring to my comment about shooting a burglar and getting thrown in jail? And that it is wrong?
Anthony Edward “Tony” Martin (born c. 1944)[1] is a farmer from Norfolk, England, who shot a burglar dead in his home in August 1999. Martin was convicted of murder, later reduced to manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility, and served three years in prison, having been denied parole.
If your comment was referring to the gal going free and thinking she should not have - I don’t know. If that was me I would have probably done the same thing, but expected to go to jail for it.
Yes, I was also referring to the Martin case, my exasperation, not aimed at you btw, was that its quoted by Freepers and Americans as the norm for the UK, when it most certainly wasn’t. In fact twice since 2007, the law was strengthened again FOR the homeowner. And in 2012 a burglar was legally stabbed to death in Manchester. BTW, I opposed and oppose the Martin sentence. I understand the judge’s reasoning re the law, but he could easily have given him a suspended sentence.
