    Henry Nowak died of climate change; Vikrum Digwa just got framed because

    And if DIgwa's lawyer makes THAT plea in court then the British public
    DESERVES to riot without legal consequences.

    Frankly Digwa got off EXTREMELY light (life with parole eligibility
    after 20 years) but I'd like to know what his family got as they were
    all accomplices particularly his mother. And I hope the attending
    police that night get a good term too - since if you have a victim
    saying "I can't breathe!" you call an ambulance - you don't say "I
    don't think so mate!"

    Glad to hear they at least got a custodial sentence - until recently
    they might have gotten a medal.

    You'll be lucky if they were even in jail for more than six months ...
    by the time the weak-kneed courts reduce the sentence for "time spent
    in custody","good behaviour", and because the policeman didn't give
    them a cup of cocoa and a bedtime story. :-(
