What a joke. Minimum of 20 years... wtf
basically if he acts like a good boy in 20 years he out.
People get arrested for growing MJ and get 10 years.

A life vs MJ
Go figure

Personally Minimum of 50 years will be good. :mad:

His stupid woman believes he's a hero ,something wired wrong there.

Well it obviously was an accident but he deserves to face the consequences. I wish they would go in to more detail about how strong the evidence against him was. The cctv footage seemed pretty inconclusive to me. I guess it was the firearm they recovered and that kid that grassed him up. His gf is just defending her man, there's a small possibility that it wasn't him and he's covering for a fellow member but i do think it was him and his gf is naive and should keep her mouth shut. Why would she talk to the mail =/

Twenty years was not enough good behaviour and he will be out in 9 or 10 as is normal in the UK.
More worrying than his GF making that statement to the Mail newspaper is the fact that they printed it.
Anyone who uses a gun deserves a very long sentence, however I wonder how they made a murder charge stick as he did not intend to shoot Rhys in the TV appeal by the police at the time of the killing the investigating officer actually said on live TV in appealing for the killer to come forward "We don't believe you intended to kill Rhys so please come forward" It's a bit strange how they made it stick.
Not that I am defending him he was carrying a gun with the intent to use it it should have been at least 50 years in jail.
Anyway it was a bad situation all round and unfortunately it is likely to happen again unless they can stamp out this "gang" culture in the UK.
