Russell Brand Sentenced to Ten and a Half Years in Prison Over Rape Allegedly Taking Place in 2004

This seems like a lot.

I'll explain that in a bit.

Comedian Russell Brand was sentenced Monday in the United Kingdom to 10 and a half years in prison for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

In his sentencing remarks, Judge Joel Bennathan said that Brand showed a "casual and arrogant disregard" for women denying him consent, the Associated Press reported.

In the course of his rise to stardom, Bennathan said, Brand became a "sexual predator."

This is another case of Two-Tier Justice.

Do you remember Henry Nowack? He was stabbed to death by an immigrant with a knife and stabbing fetish who lied to police and claimed Nowack Did a Racism and so deserved to die. The police chatted amiably with the non-stabbed "victim" of necessary anti-racist stabbing as the literal life oozed out of Henry Nowack's body.

He did not admit to cops that he'd stabbed the man and was dying on the street from blood loss. He compounded the stabbing by continuing to hide the fact that he'd stabbed the "racist," letting the man die without medical attention.

That asshole got... the absolute minimum of 21 years for race murder. And there's no question of his guilt.

Just double what Brand got for an alleged "historic rape" from 22 years ago.

I bring that up, because that immigrant race-murderer was just in court complaining that his sentence was too harsh. He wanted to halve the sentence -- down to ten and a half years, what the usefully-white Russell Brand got.

In a minor bit of good news, the court not only rejected his plea, but added four years to his sentence calling the earlier Two Tier Justice sentence "unduly lenient."

But it's still just twenty five years for a man who went out hunting a native citizen to murder and who then distracted cops with his hallucinatory Tale of Racial Woe.

⚖️ Henry Nowak's killer asked for less time in prison and the Court of Appeal added four years to his minimum term.

Vickrum Digwa was serving life for stabbing 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak to death in Southampton when two challenges to his sentence came before the Court of Appeal this week.

Digwa argued that the 21-year minimum was too long, while Attorney General Ellie Reeves had asked the judges to increase it because she considered it too low for the crime.

Both arguments came back to what Digwa did on the street where Henry was walking home.

The two men were strangers, and Digwa was carrying a large dagger in a sheath on the outside of his clothes when they met.

After a brief encounter, Digwa drew the blade and stabbed Henry repeatedly.

Digwa then filmed Henry as he tried to get away and kept filming as he lay dying.

He told his mother, Kiran Kaur, to remove the knife, and he repeatedly lied to the police officers who arrived.

The appeal judges said the original sentence gave too little weight to two things.

The first was how Digwa used a large blade he already had to hand to kill an unarmed man.

The second was the cruelty he inflicted on Henry after the stabbing and the steps he took to obstruct the investigation.

That distinction mattered because the appeal judges agreed the trial judge could start at 15 years when working out the minimum term.

A higher starting point applies when someone takes a knife to the scene intending to commit a crime, and the trial judge found that Digwa had carried the dagger there without that intention.

The appeal judges accepted that finding and gave much greater weight to what Digwa actually did with the weapon and how he treated Henry afterwards.

They put the minimum term at 25 years, with credit for the 175 days Digwa had already spent in custody before sentencing, and refused him permission to appeal against the sentence.

Once Digwa has served the minimum term, the Parole Board can consider whether he can safely be released.

Any release would come with conditions for the rest of his life, and he could be sent back to prison if he broke them.

Henry's family is also dealing with a separate release decision involving the person who took the knife away.

Kaur was sentenced to three years for helping Digwa by hiding the weapon, and she is expected to leave prison early in December, around the first anniversary of Henry's death.

The Home Office has commissioned an independent review that will examine what the prison and probation service told the family about Kaur's early release.

Henry's father, Mark Nowak, put the timing plainly: "She'll be out for Christmas, and I won't have Christmas with Henry."

Below: I think this smug simpleton is called James O'Brien. I wouldn't have heard of him, except the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters talk about him a lot. He is one of the many hard-left "liberals" who is insanely and smugly wrong about every single issue and fact.
