SCUM!

Must be a lesson to be learned here DONT leave an elderly person with money and ill
open to all the scams going on.

They got off with it then....

DESPICABLE!

What a pathetic,gutless sentence.

“Whatever assets these defendants have will be recovered and returned to their victim.”
So what good will that do? One has no fixed abode so that leaves a few copys of Big Issue.
These lowlife scum should be in prison.

"justice will find you and, when it does, it will be you who pays the price.”

Stark warning there - criminals are now shaking in their boots unless they read on.......

" both sentenced to nine months in prison, suspended for two years. "

So I can scam a vulnerable old man out of all his savings, spend it, get caught, plead guilty at court, and walk free..... Oh yes - I am paying the price alright.

HOW MANY TIMES????!!!!!

They are just worthless scum who have stooped about as low as you can get for their own selfish greed.

They might have got away without a prison sentence, but their friends, family and neighbours will all know what a sick thing they have done and will hopefully let them know that their sort are not welcome.

Someone remind me, what punishment they will serve? Wilson, 23, and Taylor, 22, both of Quantock Place, Winsford, Cheshire, were both sentenced to nine months in prison,
suspended for two years. Suspended brilliant!

Rubbish sentences. But why on earth was this man left on his own with Alzheimer's disease?

thats not a sentance it's a JOKE. where do they get these numtie judges from, planet zonk?. how is the one with no fixed address going to carry out unpaid work, you won't even be able to find him.

not bad sentences to say the stole 30 odd grand.....scum

absolutely shameful , hope their families are really very proud of this load of scumbags

I don't believe this. How many times have we despaired when we read about evil scum like these three conning old people, and prayed that they are caught and severely punished. Well this lot were caught but they certainly weren't punished, they were basically let off with a slap on the wrists. The sentencing was pathetic, a bloody joke.
Why no pictures of this vermin..? Let their mugshots be plastered all over so we all know what they look like if they ever come calling on some other poor sod, and come calling they will, because that laughable sentence was no deterrent, whatever Mark Kellet says.

If you steal money from the ordinary man in the street you are let off. Steal from the rich and you are going down for a long stretch, remember the canoe guy pretending to have drowned and his wife claimed around £200,000 life insurance. He got 8 years for stealing from a rich insurance company. As Jim Royle would say justice my a--s. If this poor man was my relation I would be facing serious charges and on my way to prison.

What an absolutely ridiculous sentence, I live in the US and this would be at least 5 years set in stone, written as the guide line, why does the UK populace not petition the MP's to have sentences that the people can vote on. Let the average person decide how long for a sentence in a referendum, punch it all in a spread sheet and see were the average shakes out to be, but no one who ever served a sentence can vote, that is the law.

I know the average person wants a big increase, and definite minimum sentence for certain things, things that the judges just keep on getting wrong without rhyme or reason. We vote our judges on a local level ( and magistrates & state judges) every 4 years in the US. It keeps them doing the peoples justice, as corny as it sounds.

A judge and prosecutor will be practicing law for themselves (voted out) very soon if they are not perceived to be tough on crime. His actions are what they use to judge them, everything is public record, no hiding bent coppers like the one with the drug dealing book from Bolton last month.

The letter of the law is followed and should be for some crimes of theft or violence against the vulnerable. It is really the moral obligation of us all to expect society to protect the vulnerable, even if we do not actively participate in trying to see this is the case.

We will all probably be vulnerable to this at some point in our lives. A part of this is random, as far as who comes knocking on your door when you are old and inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt, very sad & scary.

I know that many people in the UK feel fed up wit the way the justice system is going, it should be overhauled (sentencing guidelines added at least) as a part of one party's political agenda, it would be a vote getter.

I bet we see and hear these 3 winners grace these ages again in the years to come. The old bill will probably have them under scrutiny I hope after this, unless they have jobs then I will bet that they are grafting somewhere else on other unsuspecting vulnerable people, it is what they do, bullying scumbags.

WOW- this sentence certainly sends out the right message to cowboy builders/con artists...

Vermin. Prob spent the lot on intoxication too.

These sentences send out the message to all potential scum bags to carry on ripping the elderly off, the law will not touch you!

The scumbags should be made to pay back every penny they took from the disable man or face 10 years in jail each!! I am gutted the Judge has gave them soft sentences.

HANG THEM .

what they did is inexcusable....but what the judge did is incomprehensible..................

This pond life should be made to work for money, legally,and pay back every last penny. Lets say they had underpaid their taxes, they would have to pay it back with interest ,as is happening now to some people who , through no fault of their own ,owe tax. I wonder what would have happened if the judges father had been ripped off ?
