This whole thing is Bullocks. The guy should of been let off, when all said and done what the hell are people meant to do
If a burglar is in your house in the middle of the night and you are alone and in the middle of nowhere knowing that the police won't respond for atleast 2 hours what do the police want you to do. Go and greet them and offer them Tea. I don't think so.
The crims are winning the battle at the moment, they can pretty much run riot and when they are stopped they scream blue murder and all of a sudden are the victims of society. Saying this guy was "fun loving and a great kid" what a load of s**t 29 convictions including assualting an officer and agrevated assualt on members of the public, and all this before he was 16!!
The other thing that I can't understand is the Farmer was found not guilty of attempted murder on the other scumbag. How can he be guilty of murder on one hand and acquited of attempted murder on the other, that just doesn't make sense
