Another unsuccessful criminal

[JohnD]

ha bloody ha.

A fifty-nine year old woman who stole hundreds of pounds worth of alcohol from an Asda store in Manchester has been given a suspended jail sentence.

Rose Devlin's car broke down in the supermarket's car park as she tried to make her getaway.

woman says she's been a shoplifter all her life and should have been sent to prison (again)

Lock her up.

is locking her up the best response? she might have young kids etc, plus she might nick stuff because she feels the state 'owes' her?

maybe her punishment should be a late, or an early shift cooking soup in a soup kitchen for the homeless? fo no pay.... she might see that actually there are people worse off?

I agree with that.

They'll have to keep an eye on the bread rolls though.

to make the right judgement you would have to see how she lives and if she really does need to steal to get by

either way a suspended sentence does seem like a slap on the wrist!!

I was doing 40 MPH past a mobile speed van unknowingly in a 30MPH, when the NIP came through the door I regrettably left it to one side next thing court date, court forms led me up the garden path pleading guilty and fined £600 plus 6 points which sent my insurance premium sky high, not saying am above the law far from it just pointing out how 1 person is let off and another is overly punished!!

over punished? is that woman a potential multi car pile up, with many deaths? i feel that's what speeding is seen as !!

Didn't look too desperate to me lee.

She couldn't close the b*stard boot, for stacked up stuff.

Some people lack the intelligence to even stack shelves or flip burgers this one is no exception

if she really does need to steal to get by

she might say she "needs" to steal

I wouldn't

So why steal from a shop?

If she can be driving a car to make a getaway with the stolen hooch, she don't need to steal.

At least she won't get done for speeding though.

Surely alcohol is a non essential item?

Not if you're an alcoholic.

Exactly, it is not. The authorities should make this tub of lard swing from the gallows. Her and her disgusting ilk.
