Court rethinks cannibal sentence

German cannibal Armin Meiwes is back in court where an appeal is being heard almost 15 months after he was imprisoned for eight and a half years.

Prosecutors are pressing for him to be jailed for life, while his defence wants the sentence cut to five years.

Meiwes was jailed for manslaughter in January 2004 for killing and eating a willing victim he met via the internet.

The judge denied the prosecutors' call for a murder conviction, which would have meant a 15-year jail sentence.

2. I hope they don't give him kitchen duty.

Although ReKleptiCONs would love the prison food-bill savings, the fewer dinners to purchase, not to mention solving the overcrowded conditions.

say "Ah, fresh meat!" not knowing that it's themselves who actually are.
