Getting this back on track Pete I know where you're coming from. Having put together cases that involved loads of effort and time, only to see the culprit get off with nothing drives me & my colleagues mad.

The judge would have been given sentencing guidelines by the clerk of the court, so I don't know what went wrong in this case, but its not right.

We were taught to get it to court and after that if you got a guilty verdict that was the result you wanted, no matter what sentence was dished out. But in this case it isn't right.
