A punch to the jaw? That must have been some right hook.....
But five years.... uh no. Domineering does not mean abusive. And even if it was an abusive relationship, it should have been at least ten.....

That guy from Worldcom just 20 years in federal prison for fabricating financial performance and screwing investors.
But that's money- imporntant stuff, unlike, you know, life.

Well, I don't know about England, but, in the US, different crimes have different sentencing guidelines. The judge can't just pick whatever jail term he or she feels like. But the article doesn't mention what, if any, specific options the judge had in terms of sentencing.

If it had been five years for manslaughter, I'd have said that sounded about right from what I've heard of sentences passed down in other cases which ended with a guilty-of-manslaughter verdict. But it's two years for manslaughter, three for preventing a proper burial. As though the fact that she was killed was of lesser importance to the fact she wasn't buried properly. Although the blackly-humourous side of me thinks that from what I've heard of this person, it alnmost seems fair. . .
