Forums Forums National News Philpotts Has Been Sentenced

Judge sentences Mick to life imprisonment - minimum period you must serve is 15 years.

Mairead Philpott sentenced to 17 years in prison - you will serve one half of that she is told

Paul Mosley sentenced to 17 years as well - he will serve half of that he is told

What a messed up life.

One often wonders how a person can end up the way he did.

mixed feelings about this.

ultimately i feel kind of sorry for him.

I dont. The guy seems like a degenerate scumbag who needs removing from society. I feel sorry for his other kids as they have his DNA.

No. No sympathy in this case. He'd been in the army at one point in his life. Nasty, calculated person, who calculated wrongly this time. He was no fool and dragged his wife with him. She, is maybe due some sympathy. Horrific case.

Sorry for him, you are crazy !

I can not believe you think this way.

That man knew exactly what he was doing, he set a fire in a house knowing there where 6 little children inside, the way i see it is if you set fire to a house with any body inside you intend on killing any one inside, and as such you should be charged with murder if the person or persons die, those poor children perished in that fire, and you actually feel sorry for him.

Please look at this photo, that man murdered these children, and you feel sorry for him, he must serve a minimum of 2and a half years for each of there lives.

am i not entitled to an opinion

there's been a witchhunt against him

granted he shouldn't have done what he did, but the media has made things much worse

and those kids look like absolute angels... oh wait, no they don't.

i also don't agree with the fact that this is front page news when we're on the verge of nuclear war.

They should never let Philpotts out but i do feel a bit sorry for his vulnerable silly Jilly missus who he clearly brainwashed and knew that she was easy meat when he first met/targeted her.
I can see her having her sentence halved on appeal, but Mosley should have to do his full sentence as he should of known better.

Well I dont feel sorry for any of them, Hope they rot in hell! for what they have done. RIP innocent babes.

Life? --Not long enough.

j-demo --have you not read fully how the scumbag has behaved? Unbelievably evil son of a bitch .

have you not read about the letter http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mick-philpott-prison-letter-boasted-1810115

He is just pure evil. No sympathy whatsoever. I do have a little sympathy for the brainwashed wife.

RIP little ones.

I have no sympathy for her either if I'm honest! There are many many violently abused wives (and husbands) and I believe 99.9% would put themselves in danger to protect their children. Even if the plan had worked and they all got out imagine the fear those children would have felt, how could any mother think that's ok?

Life should mean life full stop!
Did you see them crying! Hah..where were the tears.....I didn't see any.....there eyes weren't even red from crying......very hard evil people.....no sympathy at all for them.....
