Trial for killers of Julian Gardner

going off track, but obviously it depends on a case bycase basis - I specifically stated abusive partner, where the action is spur of the moment rather than planned. My point being the differencve between being a "planned" death and one that happened on the spur of the moment. In this particular case, I assume it is argued that the perpitrators did not set out with the idea of killing the owner, but that it happened because of the circumstances at the time; hence manslaughter.
 
As did I.

ffs stop argueing ;).

and "Or if you hit someone with a car during a robbery and they die from their injuries. UNless they can Prove you deliberatly drove over them. that's Manslaughter". Except it can also be death by dangerous driving, rather than manslaughter.
personally I reckon anyone convicted of causing a road death should be manslaughter, or , if they is convicted of drink or drug related offences, should be murder :eek:.

not to sound arogant: you see the world symbol with what looks likea chain link under it in the post reply window.....couldn't you have just used that to link us all that information from the website you got it?
 
Unusual for me to query your postings Wiltshire, but not sure where you're heading with this?

Possibly more anything goes, but as a Landy was involved in to story, General Land Rover Chat seems as good as anywhere;)

So sir, on this one your point is.....
as said weve all seen the news weve all read the papers cant see why the op thought he had to bring it upon himself to devote such a large amount of time n effort to it:scratching_chin::p

I'm sure they "accidently" drove at full speed towards another car where there was a person stood with a shot gun and smashed into the car and person :rolleyes:

Poor bloke, trying to earn an honest living (we assume) and protecting his property and ends up dead :(
 
re the murder share, it's likely that the CPS went for manslaughter rather than murder as it's a much easier case to prove (murder being a mandatory life sentence and manslaughter carries an average 5 years).

Very sad and I can see nothing wrong in posting it here. TBH, a link would have been ok, but sometimes it's easier for people at work to see an extract like this than link to another site that might be blocked on a firewall.
 
them thugs should be sent down for life. they took a life so they should repay it. by staying behind bars for the rest of their own life. think what poor julian gardner's family have been going through.
and them one's that are on trail. are no dealt walking around like nothing has happened.. they shouldn't have been allowed out once they was charged with manslaughter. :mad: :argue: :mad:

Completely agree. I went along to the trial in Lewes earlier this week, and i felt that it was a bit risky that the defendants were allowed out and about during the length of the trial.

Four men who were part of a gang of burglars who crushed a businessman to death on his farm in Robertsbridge have been jailed for 36 years.
Brothers Terrence and Marcus Bristow, both from Great Chart, near Ashford were both jailed for 11 years for the manslaughter of Julian Gardner.
Accomplices Lee Delay, from Tunbridge Wells and Paul Dunn from Cranbrook were each jailed for seven years.
They were part of a seven-man gang who targeted the farm belonging to Julian Gardner in October 2010.
He was killed as he interrupted the gang as they ransacked his property.
The 52-year-old was found dead dead by his business partner less than 100 yards from his home at Bush Barn Farm off the A21 near Robertsbridge several hours after the burglary.
Today at Lewes Crown Court, Judge Anthony Scott-Gall told Marcus and Terrence Bristow that they had been prime movers in the burglary. They were convicted yesterday of manslaughter,
Lee Delay and Christopher Leek, from Cranbrook, were described as the foot soldiers in the gang. Delay was also convicted of manslaughter.
Leek was sentenced to four-and-a-half years imprisonment for conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

The family of Julian Gardner gave their reactions to the sentencing outside Lewes Crown Court.
Julian's mother, Molly Gardner and sister, Anna Murphy said in a joint statement: "Thanks to the justice system of this country those responsible for this appalling crime have now been found guilty which as far as we're concerned was the only possible outcome.
"Those criminals now convicted appear to have shown no remorse for their actions. All those present that night bear responsibility and must live with Julian's death on their conscience forever.
"They know that they will eventually be released from their sentence. However, we as Julian's family will never be released from our sorrow."

Our Julian was above all a good and decent man who worked hard all his life. Before he had the opportunity to sit back and enjoy the results of his lifetime's work, these men who have been convicted felt they had the right to steal all that Julian had worked for but succeeded only in robbing him of his life."

and may get out even earlier if they behave and are deem suitable for electronic tagging. and as they will claim the death was accidental and not done thru Malice they probably will get out after 4years.
