22 into 11 won't go
From Mr David Benda Sir: If my memory has not yet completely suc- cumbed to Alzheimer's, in mid-July this year `Parliament is hopelessly antiquated, but it helps tourism.' a colleague of Andrew Geddes sent a man down with 22 life sentences and a recommen- dation that the wicked individual should serve at least 11 years in prison. I know not whether the crimes committed deserved 22 life sentences. My idea of justice, however, does not allow for the conversion of 22 life sentences into 11 years of imprisonment. The learned Judge Geddes may argue that this laughable sentencing policy has nothing to do with judges. However, since they voluntarily preside over this 'arse of a law' they can be hardly surprised that common people have little trust in their judgment.
