See a guy (17 years old) got 10 and a half years for six acid attacks and attempted robberies in one night in London. The BBC were reporting on it as if it was some harsh sentence showing no tolerance for this sort of thing.
Some of his victims have been permanently disfigured, disabled and traumatised. One victim is described as having life changing injuries.
Just over one year per victim. Taking into account a possible early guilty plea, good behaviour and application for a tag I believe it's possible he may only serve about 3 years inside a prison.
What kind of a sentence is that.
