So I see couzens is appealing his whole life tariff

Wayne Couzens lodges appeal against whole-life sentence

Police officer was handed rare jail tariff for the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard

www.theguardian.com

The article does point out this was an expected move, a legal tactic. He's a desparate man, probably in isolation due to being a former police officer and he knows his sentence can't really be increased in any meaningful way.

That said...

His crime was disturbing and a abuse of his position. Christ he killed her using his police uniform belt, for fuck's sake. He does not deserve to be on any sentence other than a whole life tariff.

i'm sure there are a lot of people inside who would be very happy to shorten his sentence.

 

[existentialist]

This worthless turd should just accept the fact that the rest of his miserable, useless life is just going to rot away in obscurity behind bars. And no amount of 'appealing' is going to change that.

I think that's what the request for permission to appeal is all about. The cunt wants to maintain some kind of significance, so anything that makes a change from rotting away in obscurity will be attractive to him. I hope permission is denied.

Yes, it was an expected legal tactic.

But he abused his position as a policy officer and for fucks sake he killed her with his policr uniform belt. He absolutely and in no uncertain terms deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison, and under isolation conditions at that.

 

[Athos]

Hope he knows that appealing can result in an increased sentence.

I don't think it could. He's having a go, as he's got nothing to lose. And no shame.

Interesting due to the person saying it.

Fucks sake, living with that uncertainty must be horrendous.

I also saw from another source that there are about 600 homicides per year in the UK. Haven’t seen the full breakdown, though.

That's just England and Wales figures, not the whole of the UK.

There seem to be quite a few rotten apples...

That's because the people (police) who trot out the old "rotten apples" thing forget one thing...the apples get rotten in the barrel. So, instead of focusing on apples, they'd be a lot better looking at the culture in that barrel that allows so many of the apples to go rotten.

And I suspect that a "culture of impunity" has a lot to do with that. If they got rid of that, the rotten apples would quickly disappear.

I would say this will play into the hands of those saying police impersonators are not a big issue in the UK, completely missing the point that Cozens was a serving police officer who abused his position.

Two appalling but very separate crimes.

Are these on the 'filth by name' thread? They really should be.

 

[bimble]

It’s the first I’ve heard of it. A serial (alleged) rapist over a decade of offending and working in the met the whole time. Wonder what his nickname is.

Yes. I posted it on there over an hour ago.

Its not going to be a Statutory enquiry. So it's toothless. I'm sure Met will be pleased.

The only news story I want to hear about Couzens - other than his trial for further offences - is an extremely brief notice upon the occasion of his (preferably natural) death in prison.
