Unstable man with gun living with an undesirable...

I don't want to put a damper on this,but Sgt Nightingale pleaded guilty to the charge,thereby accepting his guit.
He was legally represented. He would have had to agree and get CPS to accept a 'basis of plea' which means the exact circumstances are agreed by both the defence and prosecution.
This allows the judge to sentence according to similar cases- known as case law.
Therefore any argument about him not knwong what was going on is wrong I am afraid.
In civie street,tihs offence starts off with a 3-5 year sentence.
Do I think it is wrong- of course I do,but we need to,understand the detail.

You seem to have posted this on a sports forum, try politics.

I doubt a petition will do very much if he's already pleaded guilty to the charge.

Good news that the appeal sentence is commensurate with the facts,but please don't lose sight that,at present,this man is a convicted firearms offender.
Remember also he pleaded guilty to the offences,thereby accepting the facts of the case.
