Average time in jail for murder in the UK is 12 years actually (through on probation for life) and I suspect other European countries would be more lenient.Tero wrote:I think the UK is the European system. Murder is less than 20 years and all else is a couple of years.
As for Gary Glitter apart from drink driving the only offence he has been found guilty of in the UK is possessing child porn which he got 4 months for which taking into account the damage to his reputation and earnings probably isnt unreasonable.
The Vietnamese seem to have been a bit soft of him but it comes down to what can be proved and I havent exactly heard of of the Vietnamese being soft.
Glitter has been accussed of a lot more than he has actually been found guilty of
