I have never read the daily wail in my life but I did serve as a
police officer for more than 20 years. I never saw anyone get the
maximum for any offence (mandatory life for murder excepted). Some of
the offences I dealt with were truly horrific and I often wondered
just what a villain had to do to get the maximum. Then of course
remission, release on licence etc kicks in to reduce things even more.
