[quote] A man who left his victim lying in a pool of blood after stabbing him with a knife hidden inside a walking stick has been jailed for four years.
A court was told that David Cameron slashed Gary Penman on the neck before jabbing the concealed 13-inch blade into his ribs.
Mr Penman called for an ambulance on his mobile phone before collapsing in the street.
Cameron, 38, was found guilty by a jury of assault to danger of life.
Sheriff William Gilchrist imposed an extended sentence of two years following Cameron's release from jail. [/quote]

Was Penman a Boris Johnson supporter or something?

For real though, good. You shouldn't attack people with knives.
This was Cameron's plan all along. Leave the UK in such a shit that he could successfully go on to be a serial killer, and no one would bat an eye. After all, he had just helped kill his country.

The guy has over a hundred prior offenses on record, and he only received a four year sentence?
I have to wonder why he got off so easily here. In the states this guy would have been in for life, no question.
Was it a pigsticker by any chance?
Welcome to open borders?

Even here sentences for that kind of stuff are usually higher if I'm not mistaken, unless the previous offences weren't violent crimes.
[editline]edit[/editline] In this case [I]most[/I] of them weren't for violence. Judging by the last line of the article he'd [I]almost[/I] have been sent to the next-higher court presumably for a harsher sentence.
This is just the UK justice system for you it's pretty fucking shit.

read the article thinking "oh this sentence must be justified"
[quote]Sheriff Gilchrist told Cameron: "You have accrued over 100 charges from 59 separate court appearances.
"Most of those are for dishonesty, but your record is peppered with crimes of assault, and you have one conviction for possession of a weapon.
"If you had a more extensive record for violence, I would have remitted you to the High Court for sentence."[/quote]
How is this only 4 years??? Does he get rehab or something???
because the maximum sentence in a sheriff court in scotland is 5 years, he's been given 4, plus 2 more years of supervision in which if he fucks up he can be sent back to jail, they've pretty much done as much as they can do short of deferring it to the high court which is probably a bit overkill at the moment.
