Getting back to the actual case, her sentence was probably far too lenient.

Ah yes, abusive relationship etc. I am not doubting that people can be very influenced by such things and I don't think people are necessarily to blame for what they are, but (in the absence of some magic cure) prison sentences should be guided by one practical consideration, the future risk the offender presents to society.

How many could go through the childhoods that Fred and Rose West went through and be any better? Fred West's behaviour also may have been in part due to brain damage due to an accident, again not his fault. However, given what they were for whatever reason, anything other than life sentences would have been insane.

I leave the belief of "magic" to those dull-witted enough to have imaginary friends.

Quite, you should have a puppet parrot as a friend as I do.

That's more like it SB.

To most men 3 is a magic number, as the song says.

Not when the other "2" are another bloke and a trufflehunter like her.
Unless of course you are desperate........which you may well be of course.

Exceptionally crap reply, even by your standards. To most men 3 is a magic number, as the song says.

You didn't see the magic word in the article?

but with equal sentences.

they didn't seem to press the conspiracy part, just the imprisonment, I suppose to avoid putting a mother in Jail.

Although it would have to be viewed on a case by case basis, I don't think plotting to hurt someone, and actually torturing them, are equally bad. For a start, you cannot prove what the non-participating planner wanted to happen. They might have plotted ABH but the torturers gave GBH, etc.

In this case, I think actually handing out that kind of horrible torture should attract additional punishment. However that doesn't mean I think the woman should have escaped prison.

You really have to push the boundaries of "honeytrap" way out there to incorporate her.
Never seen anyone that fugly with only one head before!!
If you dog was half as grim-looking you would shave its arse and teach it to walk backwards!!

You're equally guilty, but of different crimes.

[d000hg]

so if you plot a murder you are less guilty than the one that pulls the trigger?

That seems a bit weird. Plotting something is a lot easier than being the one who does the dirty work.

She arranged it, was complicit in it and admitted it. AIUI conspiracy gets the same sentence.

I thought it did not, although I think it should.

My cousin was murdered by an ex girlfriend and some of her friends after he won custody of their daughter. She lured him over under the pretence of discussing custody arrangements and they jumped him and stabbed him to death. She managed to get away with 2 years after blaming her drug problem. Although I am not sure what the men involved got, I was not at the court room when they were sentenced.

[vetran]

She probably claimed that she had not idea what they were going to do, there was nothing she could do to stop them etc.

The victim thought that Doyle ‘looked like a drug addict’, and told McCluney in a text that she should get tested for sexually transmitted diseases.

McCluney told Doyle, who was enraged, and recruited her and Hogan to get revenge.

The man, who begged for mercy, was pelted with eggs by the trio before being released with a warning from Doyle that his family would be shot if he spoke out.

Convicted robber Doyle, 24, was jailed for five years for false imprisonment, and convicted arsonist Hogan, 28, was jailed for four years. Both pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing.
