Took me all of about ten seconds to find an article about a shoplifter sentenced to six months prison for stealing whiskey.
The mind boggles.
So if he was sentenced to a suspended sentence, is it still a sentencing?
I get that technically the sentencing means a decision but in this case the decision is “you got away with it as long as you promise you’ll stop being a criminal”.

Can’t believe he got away with a 2 year suspended sentence. Not even jail.…all those people who trusted him! Some of them even died!
Not going to prison really sends the wrong message.
New rule, Hours in prison should equal the minimum wage of a regular person
£8.91 = 1 hour in prison,
SUSPENDED sentence. Basically no punishment here. The Rich get away with crime again in the UK. Same old story.

Bought an old mansion while getting a company off the ground with ill-gotten gains. So Brexit.
