    I presume the OP would NOT expect one of these awful people to act on his behalf if he ever ended up in Court !!

    Maybe not but there is such an activity and whilst he was, no doubt, sentenced under the current legally correct term, he was still sentenced for burglary.

    If you were found guilty of murder you could still be said to have been sentenced for killing someone.

    I think the comment was more to do with the spelling to be honest than the nature of the offence.

    Oops. :embarasse

    When I saw: According to that article ,he was sentenced for burlgary.There is no such offence. I assumed "burlgary" was a typo by hollydays.

    It should never have the time of day in court. As he's criminal scum, he should have his kids taken off him rather than let out of jail to "care" for them. This lawyer will be funded by taxpayers in this action to free this criminal for this ridiculous reason, so it's strange so many are happy for this to be happening.

    I am happy that the law is subject to challenge and judicial interpretation, yes. Take such a right away and we might as well take away all rights.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Basically a blank cheque for society to honour then: let's let the criminals challenge everything they possibly can, all at our expense?

    The judicial system is soft enough as it is, and now we have to put up with idiots trying to challenge the legality of jail, via the legal system itself, the appeal paid for by taxes? Have you spared a thought about what would happen if this clown actually won and courts could no longer jail burglars / career criminals just because they have fathered a kid?

    I'm sure he won't win, as his claim is so ludicrous, but I'm equally sure he'll run up a pointless £xxx,xxx legal bill which we have to pay for, and I'm disappointed that everyone seems to think this is absolutely fine.

    There is absolutely no danger of any lawyer contributing to this forum.

    The advice given in the MSE forums is free.

    I rest my case.

    I'm not against people having a proper defence, what I am against is someone who pleaded guilty a being appropriately sentenced using the human rights laws to try and get out of paying thier dues to society, surely as a convicted criminal they forfeit some of the rights of the law abiding population, and what about the rights of the person whos house they broke into?..

    This is not trying to find justice for someone who has been victim of a miscarriage of justice, or being denied a defence.

    I hope you are all duely ashamed by the actions of one of your colleagues in bringing this to court.
    I just witnessed a poster giving another poster abuse in the Arms. I hope that, as an MSE poster, you are duly ashamed by the actions of one of your fellows. :D
