Different sentences for similar crimes

Inequality Steven Brown writes "Spot the difference!

Story 1:
"A man who murdered his partner in front of her two daughters has been jailed for life..."

Story 2:
"A teenage girl who killed her fiancée after he admitted having sex with her friend on the night he died has been sentenced to eight years in custody."

Incredible..."

Not much difference at all (Score:0)

I see she's a teenager, but she was 18. That's an adult. The guy in comparison was 45. They both had evidently been drinking. Both of them were provoked by jealousy. The guys mate went out to a party dressed in mini-skirt and came back smiling. The woman's mate admited to having sex with another. Both stabbed their intimate partner victim to death. Yet the man got twice the sentence of the woman. I'd call that a "double standard" and a "double sentence."

I did find this unique explanation in the females news coverage,

"She was clearly an unsettled person, probably from about the age of 14 onwards when she started to self-harm."

We clearly make excuses for female violence, whether it is in the court room or the news media.

I think, but not sure, that since the crime with the teenage girl was committed last year, that she was 17 when it happened. It doesn't say whether or not that's true, but that's my guess as to why she is serving in a juvenile facility.

In Israel the dominance of the Feminazis is
so extreme that even in Feminazi website they
admit "it worth the price to be a female-murderer"! Now they even planning law in the
Knesset that women will be automatically
discharged from criminal responsibility if they
suffer the PMS, "baby blues" etc. It means that
a woman that will murder a child or man will
be automatically released!!!

I'm sorry sir... i couldnt help him backing up into the knife i was holding. i am just as surprised as all of you that someone would repeatedly throw themselves on the weapon i happened to be holding at the time. perhaps he was so overwhelmed with grief for having wronged, such an angel as me. i am so sorry, its my fault, i should have used the salad shooter his mum gave us as a housewarming gift... if i did he would still be here today. Attorney: I move for acquittal. Judge: why not, the poor girl has been through enough... i mean now she has no one to help her clean the mess she made on the floor... how inconsiderate for him to bleed there...
