NDG, we have not had one of these late night tete-a-tete for a couple of years
the fact I describing it as years is spooky, you are like an old friend. 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

I noticed from that 'be a judge' that I linked to above, that includes mugging on the street that can include all sorts of nasty stuff.
I don't quite follow you there?
Burglary is trespassing in premises with the intention of committing an offence therein - usually theft, could also be assault, rape, etc.
Robbery is theft + violence or threat of violence.
The former is either-way. The latter is indictable-only....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
For example? the only one I am personally aware of received two years, I don't know, is that harsh?
Drug dealing is usually used to describe possession with intent to supply (Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 s.5(3))
A Defendant can be sentenced up to life imprisonment for possessing Class A with intent to supply, and a maximum of 14 years’ imprisonment for possessing Class B or C drugs with intent....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I understand that, but I don't really know about sentencing but on the info given it just seemed so extreme, that is why it is used by me in comparisons.

Like I say, the only case I am aware of wasn't dealt with like that.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

What are not secret? The sentencing guidelines? They are a public document.
The facts of an individual case aren't secret either, if you mean that. Unless an order is made for a particular reason, which it hasn't been in this case....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I've seen sentences of 14 to 16 years.
2 years - probably social supply?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

It is just that on one of the case studies they said that mugging on the street was robbery, but someone else said that robbery is in a shop as opposed to private premises which is burgalary, have I got that right?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

That is what I meant, I may contact the court reporter.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

After all the problems with the riots all over the country and five sad deaths, you then see this 'A sixth person has died in hospital following a knife attack on Jersey' unbelievable
