Hughes and Tustin sentence review tomorrow

[FallingStar21]

Sorry for posting in AIBU, not really sure where this goes.

Just seen that TH and ET will be facing court for sentence reviews, alongside a few other murderous scumbags. Happening tomorrow and Thursday.

Made me wonder again, how is it that he got manslaughter and not murder, or at least incitement for murder?

If the judge accepted that TH also killed Arthur, how is it "without premeditation"? He didn't kill him by accident. They both witheld food and water for such a length of time, that clearly their ultimate goal was murder - after they were done enjoying themselves with the prolongued torture . Adding to that the chilling texts TH sent (such as "end him") and shouting at Arthur about digging his grave (makes me sick just thinking of it), the murder taking place on ET's birthday... How could that be manslaughter?

Their sentences were ridiculously lenient and I fully agree they should have both been convicted of murder. If I were the judge there would be no need of couse for a sentencing review, because. I'd have given them both a whole life tariff. (as I would with all child killers/abusers)
Its sickening (with their current sentences) they'll both still young enough to enjoy their lives when they get out.
Horrible disgusting creatures.
I hope theyre both living in fear just like poor little Arthur was subjected to.
I'd imagine the sick twisted shit houses will be cowering in protection though.

Exactly, whole tariffs just like with Couzens.. And to be honest, even if Arthur had somehow survived, they'd still deserve the same and should never be out in society again. Consecutive rather than concurrent sentencing is what the system needs!

I hope their sentences are increased, as Star Hobson's mother's was.
