'Sarah's 'Law'' Outcomes - A Life For A Life?

8 Nov 2013 14:39

"Shockingly stupid" arsonist who killed paedophile [sic] by setting fire to his flat jailed for 10 years

"The victim had five convictions for gross indecency and indecent assault in the 1980s and 1990s against boys aged between 14 and 17.

A man who admitted killing a convicted sex offender in a flat fire has been jailed for 10 years.

Daniel Martin, 25, set fire to a wheelie bin and pushed it up against the front door of AH's flat in Worcester in the early hours of December 14, 2011, sparking a rapidly spreading and ferocious blaze in which the 52-year-old was killed.

Sentencing Martin for manslaughter at Birmingham Crown Court, Mrs Justice Thirlwall said the crime was "shockingly stupid" (NS Sherlock].

She said he had intended "to do something so frightening, it would cause him (H) to move away from the area where he had lived since 2001".

"You say you threw stones at his window to try and wake him and say you saw a light come on," she added.

"Whatever you did, it was too little too late.

"You say your intention was only to frighten the victim and the prosecution accept you did not intend to kill or attempt to cause really serious harm."

She added she was "not satisfied" Martin was a danger to the public [really, wiggy?], but he "was a liar and thoroughly anti-social", with a lamentable record of previous convictions, albeit not for similar offences."

Good, Now Make It Off-line, Too

Internet trolls will [sic] escape prosecution if they apologise, say new guidelines released today

"'High threshold' placed on Twitter and Facebook comments before prosecution

New guidelines for social media will ensure that Twitter and Facebook users who post offensive messages online must pass a “high threshold” before facing prosecution, and could avoid prosecution altogether by apologising.

Keir Starmer QC, Director of Public Prosecutions has published guidelines for prosecutors who are taking on cases involving communications sent via social media.

The guidelines are being implemented to address the “potential chilling effect” that the high number of prosecutions in cases where a communication might be considered grossly offensive, said Mr Starmer.

Social media ‘trolls’ have become an online phenomenon, and usually post offensive, upsetting and inflammatory comments on networks such as Twitter and Facebook, where their posts may be seen publicly.

Now, under the new guidelines, prosecutions could be rendered unnecessary if the person who has posted the offensive post “has expressed genuine remorse” or has taken “swift and effective action” to “remove the communication in question or otherwise block access to it”. A prosecution could also be avoided if the communication “was not intended for a wide audience, nor was the obvious consequence of sending the communication”"
