friends there is something I do not understand?

Whether a baby died or not someone who can do this sort of thing is a danger to himself and everyone else so he should be locked away forever where he can do no more harm.

My sympathies to the parents!

There was no intention to kill, the idiot just committed an act of horrendous stupidity and an innocent suffered to the point of death. Had no one died the fool would have suffered a penalty of two to five years for the destruction of the bomb.

Manslaughter is very difficult to put a tag on and I suppose there are other aspects of the case that the public does not know.

However, ten years does not seem justified to the family of the victim.

Maybe he did not intend to kill the baby, but it was an unintended consequence of bombing his own home.

Sometimes the sentence does not seem to fit the crime. But at least there is a sentence.

There was no intent to kill anyone the man blew up his own home without foreknowledge of the baby next door thus he cannot be said to have 'murdered' the child/baby.

UK is not USA and judges do not hand down over heavy sentences. Here in UK we have a very long history of legal and prison reform.

Yes punish the guilty but at the same time try to encourage them to see the error of their ways and try to make them better citizens.

Locking a person up for 50 years or more (as happens in the USA) is a no hope situation. There has got to be 'hope' for the convict who must be encouraged to accept responsibility for his/her actions and to seek God.

10 years, bearing in mind he will probably only serve half that, doesn't seem adequate.

Pitiful man should have gotten at least 20 & serve 10.

he will be out in 5

awful as the case is, the judge seems to accept there was no intention to kill this poor babe.. 20 years so he gets to do 10 would be better..

the criteria these days is wether the offender is likely to recommit that or other offences...and the sentence is adjusted accordingly.

The parents must still be devastated. That idiot will probably be out in four years or less.

I can't make any sense of it either.

In this pathetic country that's quite Good.
