Any bets on how short her sentence will be?

Don't be silly. She will get a mandatory life sentence as all murders without aggravating circumstances require by law, with a minimum of 30 years in prison as it involved more than one person. The judge has very little say in the sentence of murderers as it's already laid out in the law.

My god, she looks like she comes from the worst depths of Hell. RIP to the innocent men.

As above - 30 years will be the starting point. Could go higher.
Or according to the Daily Mail types out there - a few years.

More like 8 months and a Playstation 3 in her jail cell.
Two paragraphs about wasting the taxpayer's money from someone on benefits for bonus points.
Wow man you couldn't even wait for the sentencing before making this thread? Because obviously what TSR needs is another bloody thread about gender privilege.

She lives in a council house, all paid for by the taxpayer, of course.

It is well known that females on average receive lesser sentences. However whether this case will reflect that cannot be known at this point.

I think even if she does get a 30 year sentence it won't be as long as she serves.

The issue of females receiving lesser sentences and to what extent this is true remains one that needs to be answered. If it is the case then this should be amended in the courts, also amended should be the current law on rape as it is currently misandrist not to mention archaic, in that females cannot in UK law commit rape. The fact that is has already not been amended to include female rape on males is disturbing.
Probably 30 weeks.

There is a case to this. With me I am principally concerned with the equality before the law, if a female receives a lesser sentence than a male counterpart would this must be amended and vice versa. Only then can we begin to deal with a culture that routinely victimises males.

It's a minimum term. A person must serve the minimum term at the very least. After that minimum term, they can apply for parole.
Death penalty please

We agree that the Daily Mail is a contemptible newspaper, however there is a case that females do receive lesser sentences.

That research concerns US sentencing - I wonder if the same can be said of sentencing in the UK?
Also, the point I made is not gender specific. Minimum terms are minimum terms - they are set out in statute and there is limited scope for gender to have an effect.
