Four men who gunned down two teenagers were yesterday jailed for life and the judge stipulated that they would serve between 27 and 35 years MINIMUM.

In another case this time in Leeds 30 asian youths attacked 16 year old Tyrone Clarke and after beating him up they then knifed him to death, four of them were convicted and they will serve between 9 and 12 years.



judges in this country must decide sentences by drawing balls from a lottery machine.

that's different from our Country.
i think it's better not to have death penalty because 'full of years' penalty is more helpful to punish a criminal.

am i right?

that heavily debateable. I'd rather you give me my life in prison than death so IMO no life in prison is not enough a punishment.
