Halina G. sentenced to eight years for her part in Dębski murder

The Warsaw District Court has sentenced Halina G., known as Inka, to eight years imprisonment for helping Baranina in the killing of former Sports Minister, Jacek Dębski. After the trial, the judge Marek Dobrasiewicz, announced that, "the verdict in this case can never be satisfactory for everyone. This is because justice is regarded differently by the victims, the criminals, and by particular citizens. No compromise was, therefore, possible, and the court did not want to compromise. The punishment for Halina G., is soft, but fully deserved." A week earlier the prosecutor said that Inka was fully responsible for the death of Jacek Dębski; however, she did everything possible to help bring the killers to justice, and therefore required a sentence of five years in prison. The accuser, on the other hand, who was the wife of the former Sports Minister, demanded a punishment of 25 years. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1; www.rmf.pl) A.K
