used to be lenient on white people who killed black people.

I'm trying to sort this logic out in my brain, and I'm failing.

He also seemed to argue that - even though he believes Pistorius knew he was killing his girlfriend - imprisoning him serves no purpose. So...that's the whole concept of imprisonment undermined, then, yes?

Sadly, Simon doesn't seem to suggest what we should do with people who kill their girlfriends other than imprison them. A stern talking-to, early bedtime and no pudding for a month, perhaps.

Oh, well. He did write well about churches.

trhe internet to answer such questions. I mean, I'm happy to sit here all day listing current and former Guardian journalists, but this information is available in the public domain and I've got a great deal of cash to launder to avoid paying tax.

mysterious deaths in prison...frankly, all other murder cases need to take a good, hard look at themselves compared to this one. Top quality stuff. :clap:
