Andrew Steer Posted May 25, 2018 Share A little bit of justice is served... Hopefully sends something of a message to those driving drunk and recklessly on our roads. It doesn't bring these riders back to their loved ones, but hopefully might save a few others from meeting a similar fate Eddie Stafford and HDW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted May 25, 2018 Share Durban motorist Omesh Ramnarain, convicted of killing two cyclists after he crashed into them on the M4 leading out of Durban in February 2016, was given a 10-year prison sentence on Friday.Https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/10-year-jail-sentence-for-motorist-who-killed-two-cyclists-in-durban-20180525 This will restore some faith in the criminal justice system as far as culpable homicide sentences are concerned. I can't recall what Burry's killer driver was sentenced to in the end but I think it was less than this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted May 25, 2018 Share Drink driving is a choice. It’s murder not culpable homicide imho. 5 years is a joke. Tromp, Bateleur1, tux26 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted May 25, 2018 Share So, was it 5 years or 10? Journalists are starting to act exceedingly retarded these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKaiser Posted May 25, 2018 Share Asking because I really don’t know, but what’s the point of sentencing someone to serve a sentence concurrently?? So 5 years for each victim, but the guy only needs to serve 5. I don’t get it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 5 years for each victim, but the guy only needs to serve 5. I don’t get it.... Consecutive and concurrent are different. The media is reporting that these sentences were handed down consecutively, meaning that one sentence must be served before the next. As far as whats the point. The same principles that are applied in determining the severity of a sentence are also used to decide if sentences are to be carried our concurrently or consecutively.

Andreas_187 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Great news. That little **** tried all the tricks to worm out of this one. First pleading guilty and then spending huge money on lawyers who helped him weave a ridiculous story. For that reason... good riddance Bateleur1, Danger Dassie, Bonus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popit Posted May 28, 2018 Share Am I correct in saying that he has been granted leave to appeal , but was remanded in custody ?? If so , at least he has started serving time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
