Omg I went to school with him. He’s been in and out of prison his whole life scum
If anyone has been in jail more than twice for the same offence, then the sentence should be made a minimum of ten years, as they have learnt nothing.
But of course with the worlds criminals now filling our jails to bursting, that will and can now never happen so crime will just keep on increasing and with more violence as sentences are weak and criminals know it.
Always was scum and still is
Just because someone is charged with an offence it doesn’t mean they are guilty. It just means the police feel they have enough evidence to take it to court. This may get thrown out when it comes to court. He may be guilty but at the same time. He may not be.
