Utter scum and, for my money, have gotten off incredibly lightly. If you beat someone to within an inch of their life and they die, that is fucking murder, not manslaughter. No doubt they'll be out within five years and just as worthless as they have been since the moment they were tragically born.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4502662.stmFour guilty of barman's killing
A teenage girl, two youths and a man have been convicted of the manslaughter of a barman during a night of violence.
But the four, and two others, were cleared of murdering David Morley on London's South Bank last October.
The Soho nail bomb survivor was one of eight people attacked at random by the gang, accused of using "violence for its own sake" for thrills.
Darren Case, 18, Reece Sargeant, 21, the girl and a 17-year-old stood impassively as verdicts were returned.
Barry Lee, 20, and a 17-year-old were cleared of all charges and freed.
Prosecutor Richard Horwell told the Old Bailey the youths, all from Kennington, south London, had planned to use violence "for what can only have been pleasure".
It was random, indiscriminate violence for what can only have been pleasure
Prosecutor Richard Horwell
The girl, now 15, who cannot named for legal reasons, had kicked 37-year-old Mr Morley's head like a football as he lay on the ground, Mr Horwell told the court.
During the early hours of 30 October 2004, they attacked eight people in five separate attacks, jurors heard.
"It was random, indiscriminate violence for what can only have been pleasure," Mr Horwell told the court.
"The violence took the form of beatings, kicks and stamping. Weapons were not carried and were hardly necessary when you had such an advantage in numbers."
During one videoed police interview played to the court, a witness said the gang used codewords to launch late-night attacks on victims.
Remanded for reports
She said: "When they went to go out and beat up people, they would say that (the codeword) to each other and then - smack.
"They would always go down to the South Bank or to a park or place where you get a lot of drunks really," she said.
Police investigating the killing said CCTV footage showed a female apparently filming the attack, but no evidence of photos or footage was ever found.
Case, Sargeant, the girl and the 17-year-old were remanded in custody for pre-sentence reports and will be sentenced on January 23.
They were also convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.
