There seems to be little logic or consistency in our judicial system. This set of animals receive sentences ranging from 2 years to a few months for 6 of them whilst the rest receive suspended sentences. These crimes were barbaric abuses of vulnerable residents, and would still be taking place today had not these evil people been exposed in Panorama. The abuse of trust and position in such a gross manner, coupled with the extreme physical violence inflicted on the patients and residents at the Winterbourne View care home, was described by the judge at Bristol crown court as "cruel, callous and degrading abuse of disabled patients". Yet, the judge took the view that only 6 should receive custodial sentences and the others should have their sentences suspended. Compare this with the moron who swam into the path of a couple of boats being rowed by some "toffs" and yet received 6 months jail time. It seems that sadistic abuse of disabled patients is somehow less of a crime than irritating some Saturday afternoon rowers from the Oxbridge universities. When it comes to logic or consistency, our judicial system is in a world of its own.
