Q&A: Were the Sycamore Gap vandals given too long a prison sentence?
1Description
Can it be right that the two men who needlessly felled the iconic Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall were sentenced to four years in prison? After all, that's the same as the minimum sentence for someone convicted of rape.
That's one of the questions that Andy and Neil tackle in this week's bonus episode of The Crime Agents - listen to hear whether they think this is an example of a judge bowing to the weight of public opinion, or fitting punishment for a crime that shocked the country.
They also take your questions on whether it's right that sacked police officers can be reinstated against a Chief Constable's wishes, the legal rights of journalists and police officers when they go undercover - and if there's any case for the return of the death penalty in the UK.
