@BirgitC While I was never taught advanced maths, I was definitely taught this level and the answer would unquestionably have been 44. Why on earth would you start halfway through and go back on yourself? 🤷‍♀️

@BirgitC @legaltechIRL @sumolaw @Ahlesaadat @alexgsmith The first response describes my mental response perfectly. 😉

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@legaltechIRL @BirgitC @sumolaw @Ahlesaadat @alexgsmith Far too techie for me. I’ll stick to good old fashioned oil dug out from a dust heap at a car boot. 😂

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@sumolaw @legaltechIRL @Ahlesaadat @alexgsmith Huh, yes that does seem completely pointless. Unless perhaps if at a really small price to pay for the easy availability? 🤷‍♀️

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@sumolaw @Ahlesaadat @legaltechIRL @alexgsmith Presumably you could have some digital setup which displayed it? If not, agree it does seem pretty pointless.

@legaltechIRL How is this anymore limiting then buying traditional art? When you buy a painting you don’t generally get the copyright in the painting too. Genuinely curious if this is different.

@sumolaw @EsmeBanksMarr @_sim2011 Hear, hear!!

@hsmall All very true! At this point in time though, while we are glued to home desks, I should like to point out that yoga, while not curing cancer, can help keep you from staying folded up like a rusty old picnic table after months in the garage. 😃

@sumolaw Gorgeous! But then he would be in any size or level of scruffiness. Mine deny me the fun of haircuts, being shorthaired.

@sumolaw If they vote it through, I think I will cry. So, so, so shameful. 😢

@stiggle @ip_leyland @BarristerSecret That’s an accident. Manslaugher requires criminal negligence.

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@BarristerSecret That would be hugely disproportionate, but my understanding is the campaign wants a possible starting point to be whole life for anyone of the age of criminal responsibility, to be applied to manslaugher only in extreme circumstances. Is that not workable (genuine question)?

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@Roblev0 @BO3673 @wastefighter @westrowhendo @BarristerSecret To clarify, I do not at all blame the judge or jury. They did they best they could with what they had to deal with I’m sure. I just support the Thames Valley statement that the system needs to be changed, as this is not justice.

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@Roblev0 @BO3673 @wastefighter @westrowhendo @BarristerSecret That may be and I’m not usually a fire and brimstone person. But I’ve followed this case closely and do feel in this instance justice was not done. Life would have been appropriate. 10-16 years away is highly unlikely to instill a basic regard for human life.

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@Roblev0 @BO3673 @wastefighter @westrowhendo @BarristerSecret ...illegal that they would have known there was a high risk of killing or seriously injuring an officer or member of the public. This sentence leaves me worried for the safety of society when they are released. 😔 2/2

[Rachel Wilkinson-Duffy @Rachel__WD]

@Roblev0 @BO3673 @wastefighter @westrowhendo @BarristerSecret Agree that that’s a bad starting point. Perhaps a better one is that it is a travesty of justice that our sentencing guidelines don’t allow for stiffer sentences in extreme cases like this where there was clear premeditated intent to do something so extremely dangerous and... 1/2
