This was the Law Commission's proposed sentencing structure for homicide cases in 2006.
It made sense, but was never implemented partly for political reasons: it would have meant some convicted murderers avoiding a 'life' sentence.
Will this govt have the appetite for change?

One thing I find odd about the American outrage about the sentences imposed for those taking part in the disorder, is how the terms (generally under 3 years) are so short compared to some of the telephone number sentences they hand out for all sorts of offending.
