Nothing like a televised (or widely reported) trial to make everyone an expert and produce outpourings of injustice when the guilty party isn't sentenced to three hundred years hard labour.  At least by there not being the death penalty we're saved from the "I'd pull the lever/switch/trigger" contingent.

Agree with Colwyn.

If the Steenkamp family feel justice has been done, then maybe it has...

perhaps the judge has got the balance of serving the vital interests of society, and fair treatment of the guilty party, about right? Just a thought.

And the deterrent element ?

Well, it's certainly put me off the idea of shooting someone through MY toilet door.
