Former police officer sentenced to life in prison in death of Sarah Everard 

Agreed. I seriously dont believe all these cold cases. Theres way too much technology and resources. Some are for sure inside jobs.

Yeah, more than likely he's a serial killer. I'm sure at some point they're going to be able to find that out. Hopefully they will start finding more bodies absolutely horrible.

Most likely!

Or a serial rapist. Maybe he killed this one bc she’d talk or fought back

That's what I think to.. She not the only one he has killed

Assuming his guilt is certain on the basis of the evidence, the death penalty, were it legal, would be well within the bounds of justice.

@@nyscholartist Family and friends of the victim could be given a few hours with him in his cell too. He got off too easy.

For yt ppl

This is highly unlikely ever going to happen in the US. The police Union acts like organized crime.

I recommend EVERY CITIZEN film police encounters, with immediate upload to cloud, so that video documenting becomes *normalized* for *everyone*. Currently Id be too scared to film police because I suspect theyd take it as an act of defiance or provacation or atleast give them grounds for accusing me of 'behaving suspiciously'. Just know things wouldnt end well for me esp. given I wouldnt have the confidence to continue recording after theyve demanded I stop. Its in the best interests of EVERYONE to make filming authorities common practice, including the poor police officers that are intimidated or falsely implicated by wealthy/influencial citizens of privilege who feel entitled to escape any and all legal consequence

In united states' this policeman would've walked free,not guilty by jury

@@sarahbediako1606 In New Zealand the policeman that killed his wife only got 17 years

@Sam M Am sorry but why should her family sue the police? It's not the police fault that he did what he did now is it. I should think your an American, as us Brits don't go on about suing everyone all the time.

@@sarahbediako1606 Not Necassarily, It is far more likely that The Jury would have found him Guilty on all Counts and then Sentenced him to Either Death or Life without Parole.

@@cherk9993 Yeah. Don,t know the circumstances surrounding this particular case in New Zealand but 17 years is the average "Life" sentence in the UK aswell. So much depends on Mitigating Factors to determine how Long or short a Sentence will be. In Wayne Couzens Case it is perfectly Justified that he spends the rest of his Natural Life behind Bars because this was such an Exceptional Case and Caused so much Revulsion and Shock to not only the Public but to the Police Force aswell.

It just means really that they shouldn't be using that badge as a form of protection because people abused that all the time they have a history of doing this it's not their first time just the first time that people are really starting to held them accountable for their deadly actions. But yes what you said was true.

Exactly

Perhaps now that the UK has left the EU, they can reinstate the death penalty for only government agents that use their power of the state to commit murder. I'm convinced that if the UK still had the death penalty, this guy would have been put before the firing squad.

BIG FACTS!!

In the military you are held by two courts and can be tried twice. Of course if you're in the police force you're only tried once, actually it just gets dismisses based off qualified immunity most times

Definitely but since in every job there's favoritism and other bullshit it's not going to be easy 🤷🏽‍♂️

I had a dear friend who was a police officer who was in charge of seeking out corrupt cops. He had a difficult time with the other cops who thought he was a “snitch”. He is gone now. He died from renal failure. But he was one of the dearest people I have ever met. We went to high school together. I miss him still.

Uh are u blind? The cops investigated interrogated and arrested him keep crying

But they wont

“Good Cops” Dont exist ACAB for life.

So true, I envy your justice system there. Cause the news here would of focus on what the victim did and how no way in hell is it a police officer, blah,blah,blah, case dismissed.

Your wrong...in Canada it would take decades, sometimes the killers get to enjoy a day spa. True. Blessings 🙏🇨🇦.

I just said the same thing! Utterly ridiculous

@@nene5857 Canada is even worse, our justice system gives murderer a spa day for good behaviour. 👍👌🇨🇦Fun times.

Literally!

Civilized?? Their police are raping and killing women and you think its civilized? Insane

@@herbalvisionz6091 i said sentencing them is civilized. Learn to read, stupid.

Where to start?🧐 Universal healthcare, free at the point of delivery, funded by taxation and available to everyone. No co-pays, no ‘pre-existing conditions’ (we call it ‘medical history’). Prescriptions charged at a flat £9.35 (about $13) for any drug (and free for under-16s and over-60s). No such thing as medical bankruptcy - it is literally unknown here. Very few guns (but contrary to what you yanks are told, we CAN have guns), no open carry, no concealed carry. If you own a gun, it stays under lock and key. Better education system. Better and healthier foods. Work less (full time is 30+ hours a week), get paid more. Standardised voting practice across the country, with thousands of polling stations and no queues to vote. The BBC. No Fox News. No Glenn Beck, no Sean Hannity, no Laura Ingrahams, no Rush Limbaugh, etc etc etc. No broadcast religionists pleading for money. Very little interest at all in religion. Decent public transport - maybe not as good as it was 100 years ago, but still pretty good. CCTV that are monitored 24/7 (this is why they had all the footage of this woman). It protects the innocent and make it very difficult for the guilty to have a case. That’ll do to start with. Does all that make Britain better than America? That depends of what you desire in life. But “all of a sudden the UK seems really civilized”, which was what you commented? Oh yes. Much, much more civilised

Yeah!!!!! I heard there's a lot of corruption on LAPD let's start there 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@modernskyn pretty much the same in Canada 👍🏾😆

And some one yest Tex me saying it’s safe there????

I know that’s right

White ppl be like BACK THE BLUE! LOL 😂

true there are many even on the take, but there are officers that are willing to lay down their lives for a stranger, and they are the ones worthy to be called Heavens Hero's last year i got to meet such a young lady /officer she had a family yet during a traffic stop a wanted felon ripped away her life Cassie Johnson of Charleston WV, i had the privilege of being questioned by her as a witness , to a car accident the Lord kept me out of, Cassie didn't deserve to die at the hands of a heartless murder! i believe that her name was in the book and that she's in his kingdom not in hell

Yes!

said the same thing.....

Of course it wasn't I wonder how many cops have been protecting him.

Yep. Sketchy af.. they need to review all his arrest records etc..

@@sarahvand3628 omg yeah I wonder what his arrest interactions are && what about them do they get new trials?

You can bet the house this was not his first time raping a woman...DNA will expose him for sure!

Also put them in self defense classes like karate. 😊😊👍

If you not gonna trust the police who are we gonna trust when mayhem and trouble strike ?

@@winstonmarajh991 Not even the police. You can teach your children to obey authority if you want.

@@jamiem3628 in reality how are you going to find God for immediate relief ask for family members some don't even talk to one another !

He had been nicknamed "the r*pist" by his colleagues years before he killed Sarah because of how uncomfortable he made women. Clearly there was a problem.

@@pollystye3270 what does that say about his fellow colleagues...they should hang their heads in shame

Strange I was thinking the same thing.

@@paulrichards6894 all professionals protect each other. Doctors, police, teachers etc, they all cover up abuses. I don't think this was his first offence, he just escalated his behaviour.

There needs to be an independent investigation (NOT THE POLICE) of his entire life. Family history, any events during his school years and during his years on the job.

Wow it’s totally not like he got life in prison

Yeah how rude!!!

When its against a Cop, they do it to protect the Cop...its just what happens here in AmeriKKKa

US police unions are pretty powerful and have alot of money for good lawyers.

@@NoName-fi6oq just because this country is great doesn’t mean it’s ok for cops to manipulate the system for their own good. They are supposed to be the good guys we trust. When we can’t trust them, then that’s why there is rampant gang activity. People click up when the community protectors are dirty too.

@@NoName-fi6oq You obviously is a member of the privileged. You may not agree but yes, some/most cops in America are evil with a gun and badge.

Abuse by Police goes unchecked & unreported in the U.S. As long as there is No Justice there will be No Peace.

And the thing was he was not even in a police uniform, its very very rare you would come across some plan clothes police in the UK. I hope each and every single day is painful for him. And when those other inmates learn that he was a copper as well its going to get very painful for him. Boo bloody hoo.

I read he hit his head real hard in his cell. Had to go to the hospital and get stitched up.

These kinds of abusers/killers are in all walks of life,..even religion.💔

Case in point Derek Chauvin Guilty of Killing George Floyd. Sentenced to 22 years. Chauvin is perhaps the Worst type of Police Officer . One who gets his kicks by the Racially motivated Abuse of Citizens and who Feels all powerful and Superior because he wears the Uniform. It would not surprise me if Chauvin was the arch School Bully who regularly caused abuse and misery to weaker more vulnerable School Pupils. This Trait he may have carried with him into Adulthood. A Bully and a Coward .

@@janetspell1396EVEN RELIGION??? 😂😂 especially in religion. „Holy wars“ people killing thousands bc of religion, priests raping children and murdering people to cover up the sexual abuse…

There is one but I don’t know how extensive it is

One look at his 'mug' and you could tell he was trouble....Who the f hired him first day!?

Are you really niave enough to believe that would make a bit of difference??🙄

@@shaunanacole are you really pessimistic enough to believe science has no bearing on assessing potentially problematic individuals? That accountability gained from inadequate evaluations wouldn’t add a layer of responsibility to those administering such tests? They’ve literally done studies on accountability in the justice system that would contradict you.

I know in the UK that there’s a lot of psych evaluation to be a police officer with firearms. I’ve rarely encountered any police carrying guns, but on the odd occasion that I have, they’ve always seemed like particularly nice, sound and trustworthy people. Maybe more of that for the rest of the force?

That’s not even close to being true. Police unions don’t want bad cops either. But police unions will make sure police officers are given due process. Police officers also have rights.

@@jimziemer474 lmaoooooooo

@@jimziemer474 omg lol thats the funniest joke I've heard all day. The police unions believe in the blue wall of silence and they all stick together. A cop could murder someone and the police union would be backing them all the way.

@@jimziemer474 Yeah yeah we know, the feces in the gene pool has rights.

@@jimziemer474 they may not "want" bad cops, but you can't call those intense coverups "due process" and they very much do want cops that uphold their current culture, which is fraught with bad behavior, which makes those cops bad, so actually they do want bad cops they just want the right bad cops. bad enough to not rock the boat when they see fellow officers doing bad stuff yet not bad enough to bring too much public scrutiny.

Yes because long sentences do well in America

@@Southlondonrider92 We have the death penalty in Tennessee.

@@glennhubbard5008 The Death Penalty was abolished in England in the Late 1960s and also in Scotland around the same time. Scots Law was always different from English Law but both decided to end Capital Punishment then. I think the Last Hanging on UK Soil was in 1964. Capital Punishment was then Suspended for a while until it was finally abolished around 1969. If Capital Punishment had not been Suspended ( In England) then it is Certain that the Moors Murderers ( Myra Hindley and Ian Brady ) would both have met the Hangman. Hindley and Brady both died Natural Deaths after Spending most of thier Lives in Prison. Hanging them may have actually been Too Good for them anyway . France was the Last Western European Country to Finally Abolish the Death Penalty in 1981. The Last Execution by Guillotine was carried out on 10th September 1977 in Marseille when Hamida Djandoubi lost his head for the Torture and Murder of his Girlfriend.. The Executioner was Marcel Chevalier and this was to be the Final time that the Guillotines Blade would Fall.

@@sandrocastro5517 Cops in America have frequently committed murder without being convicted, especially violence against Black Americans.

As just one example, Officer Darren Wilson murdered an unarmed 18 year old Black male in 2014 and he walked free.

@@valoredramack9117 That's bullshit and you know it, Wilson was cleared from any wrong doing after consciously evaluating all the evidence, besides of this Brown was far from being an innocent man, so you can't compare that case with the woman raped and assassinated but that cop in London.

Not a chance. There would be uproar

Bhargav, here in the uk when the judge sentences the guilty person to a whole life tariff, it means that there will not be any chance of parole in the years to come, you will only come out of prison when you are dead.

@@misssparky5574 No. Life is the minimum for murder in the UK, but generally they will be released after 25 years.

@@coreywilliams1454 You’re mistaken, the sentence for murder is fixed by law to life imprisonment in the UK. It is split into two tariffs: the minimum term order and the whole life order. Most cases fit the criteria for a minimum term order, where an offender must serve the minimum term before they can be considered eligible for release on license - this does not mean they will be released, many are not. The whole life order is rare because the criteria to reach it is very high. Wayne Couzens received a whole life order, he has no minimum term and will never be considered for release.

A pat on the back to the Judge................................Well Done Sir.

@@ginastockings2151 Capitalise at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns.

@@somniumisdreaming This is not an English Lesson or Spelling test. I Simply Agree with the Sentence that the Judge Gave to Wayne Couzens for the Dreadful and Horrendous crime he committed. I think most people would come to the conclusion that the Death Penalty should be carried out for Crimes like this ( even the people who would not say so out loud but think that it should). Also, Execution for the Brutal Murderers of Lee Rigby. The basic problem with Executing these Murdering Bastards is that it is all over far too Quickly and in the end just gives them peace which they should not have.

No. The minimum for murder in the UK is life. Legally they cannot be sentenced to less.

Appreciate this is two years old but I couldn’t help notice the claims by the OP. 1. “Retired lifetime lawyer” - they’re called solicitors in the UK judicial system. 2. “Him serving 5 years would be nearer to what should be expected” - false, murder is fixed by law to life imprisonment in the UK, that is not arbitrary. This case pertains to a whole life order where no mimimim term is imposed. Even then, an offender must serve the entirety of their minimum term before being considered for review by the parole board. 3. “We need the right to defend ourselves” - under English law, every citizen has the right to defend themselves when threatened, but the force you use must be proportionate to counter the threat. You may use your environment to aid in your defence, but you cannot use offensive weapons carried on your person. 4. Firearms are legal in the UK, they are just subject to strict licensing conditions. Holders of a section 1 firearms license can possess the vast majority of what US citizens can. The only limitation pertains to handguns, where the barrel length must be greater than 6 inches. Often a fixed arm stock attached to the grip qualifies as meeting this length. The idea being you cannot conceal it. Removing this stock would be a criminal offence and a breach of the license.
