Time to throw away the key yet again! :furious:

A drug dealer who murdered seven-year-old Toni-Ann Byfield and her 'father' has been jailed for at least 40 years.
Self-confessed gunman Joel Smith, 33, was found guilty*of shooting the girl and Bertram Byfield at a north-west London bedsit.
Mr Justice Gross, at the Old Bailey, recommended he serve a minimum of 40 years for killing Toni-Ann and 33 years for Mr Byfield's murder.

The judge said: "However grimly accustomed one becomes to violent crime, there is a particular horror in the shooting in the back at close range of a seven-year-old girl - that is the hallmark of this case."

Poor little girl trying to run out the door and got shot in the back. What I want to know is what kind of worthless azzhole would take his daughter with him to do some kind of drug deal! Just goes to show what a low life her dad was.

Social Services, etc, were reprimanded for allowing little Toni to stay with her dad's girlfriend while the foster parents were away :doh: :doh: :doh:
That is all they got for a decision that cost a little girl her life. They knew that her dad was a drug dealer. What kind of a girlfriend did they think he would have...the leader of the church choir :furious:
