Wow, thats amazing, but once again, browsing the web can't compare to actual real life experiences.

Having been incarcerated in the states, which led to my dismissal from the us military, I can tell you loads about the legal system there.

Having just got out, done time with, and personally knowing the men arrested for the aforementioned men, well, think I might know a bit more about that as well.

Also, I help with the collection and sale of Republican Prisoner gifts. We go around the country to the prisons, collect the arts and crafts that are being made by the current Republican Prisoners, and sell them in booths and shops around the country. I am currently working on a website to display and sell these crafts, and will be happy to show you the site as soon as its done.

But my point being I travel to, meet with, and personally know, the prisoners, their stories, and see the men weekly.

It's nice that you found so many links, and yes, manslaughter vs murder is a different charge, but liek in the states, the men were arrested, charged with, and put on trial for murder. They were only found guilty of manslaughter. Thats the case with 90% of all murders in Ireland, so yes, manslaughter is less, but thats what most people do time for, as murder has to be haneous for a juge or jury to actually impose a murder sentence.

And trust me on that, I know from personal experience.
