Ripper hoaxer to appeal sentence
 

BBC NEWS | England | Bradford | Ripper hoaxer in sentence appeal

Seems to me 8 years is about right for the crime, I wouldn't have blinked an eye if it had been longer.

One of Peter Sutcliffe's attacks was actually in my local town (****hole!)

8 years for perverting the course of justice is a touch on the high side.

I would consider even 3 fto be fairly high

Most nonces are out in 4, all this guy did was send a couple of letters and a tape.

........... thereby possibly causing the deaths of more women. :rolleyes:

should have shot the f**king idiot along with sutcliffe, both of these people dont deserve to even be drawing breath.

dont think 8 years is worth a 'possibly'

he is taking the fall for crap policing. I am not saying what he did was right. but no way worth 8 years, secondly the policing of the ripper case was crap. Keystone cops

what did Ian Huntleys bird get ? and she was invoved !

Anyone who's read up on the case knows how massive the enquiry was, and it was all card-based, no computers to store all the info. Some police incompetence allowed Sutcliffe to go free too.

But IMHO the hoaxer's actions fully justify the 8yr sentence.

The Police are happy to put that spin on it..... The truth is that they were massively incompetent. How many times had Peter Sutcliffe already been arrested? He was one of the first suspects, after all..... It cant have been easy dealing with thousands of paper statements and endles roladex cards, but the more you look into it the more apparent it is that the Police were inept beyond belief!

Agreed, one sick individual to even do what he did.

being sick isnt a crime.

Did I say it was?

It is at my work :mad:

Just seen a "more soon" item on BBC News - says he has lost his appeal.

:lol1: :lol1:

nope

it wasn't just a single action tho, when he knew the police were going down the wrong path believing him he reenforced their assumptions they were on the right track. 8 years seems very reasonable.

They just threw out the appeal
