I couldn't believe this when I read it. How is strangling somebody not murder.

My guess would be ... judges watch porn too. Women like it we don't so it cant be that bad, right?

Unless the law is specifically changed so that strangulation death = automatically murder charge, conviction, sentencing, no mitigating factors, then nothing will change.

Reading more now, his story seems to have moved around a lot , too.

Sadly, I think you’re right.

I am too angry to post coherently about this right now.

Absolutely disgusting.

He will still get Life 🌺

This makes me so angry. How do you "accidentally" strangle someone whilst trying to get them out of your car?

He murdered her.

You think?

My money's on 5 years, out in 2 and a half.

Who was it that talked about women and their 'egg shell skulls'? Women are such fragile things, they die so easily. You try to push them out of the car and their necks just magically break! This outcome is pretty unbelievable. Apparently he stabbed himself at the scene and when the police picked him up he said she had stabbed him and he was acting in self defence. That was found to be a lie. So despite the fact he lied the jury then believed everything he said?

Something else that is deeply annoying is this: he went for the loss of control defence.When that defence was reformed, the statute specifically said you couldn't use loss of control as an excuse when the trigger was an affair. This has now been watered down so much, that in this case they could say it wasn't revealing the affair which caused the loss of control but the mere sending of the text message. The law was reformed to protect women, but now it's pointless.

Who was it that talked about women and their 'egg shell skulls'?

Jane Fae, extreme porn advocate (as in the sort of porn where women are portrayed as seriously injured and killed by men in pursuit of the male orgasm), now re-invented as "harmless knitting granny" and trans-activist. Whenever I see Fae, I think Fae would have been in the front row as the tumbrils arrived, with a certain unhealthy interest in being spattered with the blood of female aristocrats in particular.

By law it is manslaughter. It wasn't premeditated. He had a knife to kill himself, that was his reasoning to meet Mrs Parry. My thoughts are with Mrs Parrys families first & foremost but also PC Brehmers family.

the Judge could still give him Life, my fingers and toes are crossed ... for every woman that has ever suffered violence 🌺

I bet he will get a lenient sentence. I think I'll write to my MP and complain. Or is it better to write to the Home Secretary. Maybe somdbody will start a petition.

judges usually have to take certain things into account

Like the fact he was a police officer?

In anticipation, here's the link to appealing an overly lenient sentence (because I have zero faith in the British justice system delivering anything remotely like justice for Claire Parry and her family):
www.gov.uk/ask-crown-court-sentence-review

You will need to provide:

name of the person who got the sentence
date the sentence was given
court where the case was held
crime committed

juries don't seem to understand how much force you have to apply to kill someone by strangling

I've often thought that people on juries for cases of strangulation (or pretty much any serious injuries that are routinely misportrayed on tv) should have to try to imitate a strangulation grip on e.g. a cpr dummy for the length of time it would take to kill someone. It would stop all these "accidental death" defences in their tracks.

It doesn't have to be premeditated to be murder, you just have to mean to kill or mean to very seriously hurt the person.

This has made me so angry and upset. The force required to strangle someone to death is not something that happens accidentally. Fucking evil murdering bastard. And his family who have said he was a 'true gent'?! He's a cheating murderer...no gent there at all. I feel so sorry for his wife, the widowed husband and all the children involved.

Thanks for that.

Or a mason?

Under cross-examination by Richard Smith QC, prosecuting, Mr Brehmer initially denied being a "well-practised liar" but then accepted the term after admitting he lied "consistently well" to his wife over their affair.

This is terrifying. Her poor family.

I thought the difference between Murder & Manslaughter was intent? Not premeditation? It doesn’t take long to form an intent to kill.

Any criminal lawyers about?

Absolutely disgusting.
