Shouldn’t The Punishment Match The Crime?

By Rob on December 11, 2006 at 09:41 am

A WOMAN of 70 locked her husband in a garage “like a dog” for three years — while she lived at home with her 58-year-old toyboy.

The 76-year-old man’s weight plunged to 6st as he was forced to sleep on a rotting mattress on the floor and fed via a hatch.

He was freed only after suspicious neighbours rang police in Roeze-sur-Sarthe, western France.

The woman confessed in court she didn’t free her hubby as she would lose her share of his pension in a divorce. She was jailed for two years.

So she locked her husband up in the garage and fed him through a hatch for three years, and for that she gets two years in jail.

Shouldn’t she maybe be locked up the same amount of time as her husband?

Just wondering…

How biblical of you Rob.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity? I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Not in our judicial system. If that were the case, then murderers would get the death penalty.

I don’t think she should have gotten just three, she should have gotten six. (at least)

It’s France....lucky he didn’t go to jail....the boyfriend get re-imbursed for putting up with the man and the woman get a medal....wouldn’t that be French correctness?
