A 3 and a half years prison sentence for a 20 year old (Jordan Sheard) after setting a 18 year old (Steven Simpson) on fire during his birthday, later finding the words "Gay Boy" written on lipstick on Steven Simpson's head.
I personally think that 3 and a half years is quite a lenient sentence since the minimum for manslaughter is around 5 years.
And I know the news source of "The Sun" isn't deemed the best by most people but it's the only one that (seemingly) is giving a fuller story of the event than the court case. But from another source (this being "The Mirror"), it states that Steven Simpson was going along with Jordan Sheard's doings before his apparent "prank" to set his groin on fire, after covering Steven in oil, got out of hand leading to Jordan fleeing the scene.

What do you all think of this event? Should Jordan be given longer prison time for what he's done?
EDIT: Also a link to The BBC on the event http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-21887535 thanks to the user elvor0
