Disgusting.
Is there anyway the sentence can be appealed by the prosecution as his remorse was obviously fake?
Exactly my thoughts Reg.
The little bollix should have his sentence doubled - and more.
It wasn't the first time he was driving in this manner and it wasn't the last either. He has been yet again involved in another 'accident', this time on a moter cycle
It's the only language they understand !!
Maybe Lee Clegg will be at the next checkpoint he runs into when he's released...
The PPS can appeal against lenient sentences however they should have informed the trial judge at the time and sought leave for the Court of Appeal.
More incompetence in the Criminal Justice System!
Is that what Justice Hart believes to be remorse?
McGinn made the statement after the trial ended.
Very sad state of affairs and I agree justice is missing, very obviously so.
MR, it's been a long time!
Wotcher Julius 
Good to see you!
And yourself, sir. Hope all's well your end.
Indeed, Julius. Good to hear from you Mr Ruad!
Chris:
This is dispicable, this piece of shit is utterly reprehensible. He nearly killed himself in an accident two years before. If this did not deter him I'm sure his holiday in the YOC will not. At least the assembly is now trying to address this issue, in an indirect way at least. It is imperative that the assembly legislate to effectively punish scum like Mc Ginn. Failure to do so will represent a total disservice to society!
MR
Holy cow, its you!
Welcome back! I was asking after you. Hope all is well.
Phantom
I don't know the legal system there, but here driving is not regarded as a right that anyone has, but a privilege that can always be taken away.
Separate and apart from any punishment that is meted out to this cockroach, you would think his driving license be suspended for an extremely long period of time. Not to punish him, but to protect all the others.
Agreed, Phantom. They should be far more strict on this. If people knew they'd be taken off the road for years they'd be a lot slower to do such stupid and reckless things.
He didn't have a licence in the first place. Do you think that not allowing him to have a licence in the future will stop him driving???
No it'll stop him driving legally, so if he's caught driving a car (for the next ten years, for example) he can be charged and punished.
Yes, and if gave him permission to use the car ( presumably this creature has parents ) then could not action be taken against the parents or whoever gave him the keys to a motor vehicle?
Again, if I gave the keys to my car to a drunk man, I'd expect to be charged. Whoever gives this guy full control of a vehicle is just as bad.
Is it a question that the laws are insufficient or is it that the will to enforce existing law is lacking?
Yes.
Simply enforcing the existing laws would be a good start. We now have penalty points in the South. When they were first introduced the accident rate reduced but as people began to realise the new laws weren't being enfoced things went back to normal.
It's a matter of life and death, we need to sort it out.
Sounds about as remorseful as most terrorist convicts.
*rolls eyes*
Don't feed trolls JG
I think they did ban him from driving for 10 years, but that won't stop his kind from creating carnage on the road. A lot of these rodents have a driving ban or never had a license in the first place.
How are you MR?
how can you all sit there judgin Chris? callin him a bolux and a piece f shit? if u knew him u wud c hw bad he feels over it al! he wud give his life 2 make it up 2 both families! so all of yas get of your high horses and judge people u know, not my close friend!!! yous dont have a single clue of how guilty he feels and hes ready 2 pay 4 wat he done! keep ur low life opinions 2 urselves!! love you goose..xxxx
I have met Chris McGinn on a regular basis since he killed those two people and his partying lifestyle never changed! He showed no remorse what so ever!!! Our opinions are not low life and neither are our actions!
AT:
If you associate with this low life scum bag you are obviously not worth your weight in sal. Whats worse is that you defend this murdering bastard, you sick cunt. Furthermore if your friend is so remorseful why is he boasting on bebo that he will never change? You are a reptile AT. Why did your friend not change whenever he near killed himself in an accident prior to the one that he killed two innocent peoplke in? Its a pity the wee wanker didn't die in the first accident Im talking about. The scumbag got in a car with no license, full of drink and killed two innocent people. Yet you defend him. You sicken me to the pits of my very stomach!
AT,
If you stop writing in text-speak somebody might take you seriously.
Adelante
You regularly defend "murdering bastards", so you're in no position to attack AT.
it really isn't fair to judge Christopher whoever he is. I know that my son has done silly things when he was 16 and he now realises that he was wrong in some of them and I'm sure Christopher feels the same. It was out of order to call AT a reptile though. She/He has the right to stick up for her friends as I'm sure you would aswell if you were in their situation! That was uncalled for Adelante! That was also awful to wish that he died, that was completely uncalled for! Fair play to you AT for defending your friend and I would do the same. And in fairness it doesn't take a genius to realise he meant to his frends that he wasn't going to change for the worse he was going to be the Christopher they knew and loved. Totally uncalled for Adelante as you don't know anything about the situation. It's people like you who sicken me to the pit of my stomach when you judge people you don't know!
Clare:
Very presumptious aren't you Clare. Well I've got news for you I do know Goose! Hes a wee bastard always was and always will be. It was not the first time he has been engaged in car crime, is it? He is entirily incapable of reform as he Bebo profile categorically illustrates! I stand by my comments that I wish he died in the first crash. One scumbag joyrider would be dead but two fine men, one that I knew personally, would still be alive. What this men do to deserve to die? Drive on the road at the same time as a joy rider? You are an apologist for a murdering scumbag Clare. You should have a long hard look at yourself and the type of reptile you have taken to defend!!!!
May I just reinforce that even after the accident he was still driving ... he had an accident on a motor bike and broke his leg ...
Also may I remind you all that if he has shown any sort of remorse he would not have published a 'joyriders prayer' on Bebo!
ha you claim you know Goose! yes you know OF him and believe what people tell you about him but you do not know him, if you truely knew him you would see hs guilt & remorse and know what he was really like so don't come with your lies you'll only make yourself look stupid!
AT:
Have you difficulty reading, I KNOW Goose, not know of him! He is a reptile, and he is lucky I was not the judge because I would have brought back the death sentence. Joyriding, drunk driving scum like him deserve to hang. He will rot in hell the bastard!
