Socks Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Quote "Six months in a young offenders’ institute" Crikey, that's not a long sentence is it. I thought he would have got a lot more then that for killing someone... Quote
StarletSr? Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Mason was sentenced to six months in a young offenders institute and given an 18-month driving ban. Was thinking the same socks! Quote
lew777 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I remember when this happened and Sam said on here the cyclist was on his mobile. Quote

I thought he would have got a lot more then that for killing someone...Depends on the charge doesn't say he's been charged with murder or manslaughter which carry heavier sentencing .Could if been charged with wreck less driving n other stuff , either way not a good thing to happen to anyone condolences to the families Quote
TimD Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 Yep, not much for taking someones life. Although we've all lost sight of cyclists / bikers, so easily done. Got to keep your head on a swivel, especially on a nice day in the peak district. Quote

Greenmachine81 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I.m sure this guy didnt set out that day to kill someone, yes he only got 6months inside but he.l live with this for the rest of his life.. not something i would want to go through myself.. not taking any sides just giving an opinion..

Mikeyallgood85 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I think the justice system in this country is shit! ok he's got to live with killing someone for the rest of his life but what about the mother/widow and two children without a dad! Quote
Rock-Kick-Ass Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 justice system in Ireland isn't any better man, their all shit.. STREET JUSTICE! FTW Quote

TimD Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 Looking at the chaps Facebook, I'd say he wasn't all that bothered. Quote
Phil Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Prison is a pointless punishment for accidents. a massive fine would be better. Make it profitable for taxpayers rather than expensive. Phil Quote
TimD Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 A fine he is unlikely to be able afford? Quote
Arnold Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 6 months is an insult to the victims family. Quote
Phil Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) A fine he is unlikely to be able afford? No a means tested one, like XXk he has to pay off and is taken from his employer at source. not one he has a choice about paying. now i understand that if he is a wee rat bag on benefits he can dodge paying till he dies, but that involves him deciding they are going to be a wee rat bag that makes nothing of themselves which is a pretty harsh sentence to put unpon yourself. so either we would pay as much and fast as possible of this massive fee, or never get a real job.

Idrees Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 He has made it clear on here that he works for his dad and he said he has lots of money. Quote
Jay85 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Worst thing is that because his sentence is less than four years he will automatically have the sentence reduced by 1/2 then a third off of that for pleading guilty!! He will most probably only serve 2 months! On the bright side 95% of young offenders area gang movers so there's always the chance he'll get shived!! Edited April 10, 2014 by Jay85 Quote
Liam_D Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Fucking hell didn't realise he had done all of this!! Quote
kavan-k Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 6 months and banned for a year and a half? Basically banned for a year after hes out? Thats rediculous. The justice system in our country is beyond shocking. Quote
