Julie-Anne Kincade KC: Law Association Vice President on the Government's introduction of new sentences for coward punches
Manage episode 491738008 series 2098280
The Government's introduction of new sentences for coward punches is being described as merely cosmetic.
It's announced specific offences for striking a distracted victim - which could carry a sentence of life imprisonment, if fatal.
But Law Association Vice President Julie-Anne Kincade told Ryan Bridge she understands people have been looking for reform in this area.
She doesn't think it will make a huge impact, as the changes will add one year to the maximum penalty of offences which already exist.
