WHEN EQUALITY IS NOT QUITE SO EQUAL

                                       

                                      WHEN EQUALITY IS NOT QUITE SO EQUAL

Can someone please tell me why a criminal who attempts to smuggle five-and-a-half pounds of cocaine into this country is allowed to wheel free from prison after only a few brief months?  His sentence was three-and-a half years, so why isn't he being made to serve his very just reward?  Well, a disability helps no end.  Add a vociferous mother and a group of banner-waving supporters and any government minister will succumb.
It's all very well chiming on that Mr. Daniel Roque Hall is not a well man, but should he not have thought about the consequences of imprisonment if caught?  With a street value of £370,000 surely he wasn't expecting to be given the Queen's Award for Industry!  His mother stated that he'd been through a major ordeal!  What kind of ordeal?  Finding out that concealment of drugs in a wheelchair is not an Olympic sport?  A crime is a crime whether you are able bodied or disabled and no difference in sentence should be applied.
