Corporal Harry Killick
A soldier will have to wait another week to find out if he faces a long jail term for stealing a gun from army barracks.
Corporal Harry Killick faces up to a ten year sentence for stealing a gun and ammunition from TA barracks in Dyke Road, Brighton and was due to be sentenced today (February 11).
His family claim the theft was part of a suicide bid by Cpl Killick, 36, as he struggled to deal with post-traumatic stress after serving in Afghanistan.
He will now be sentenced on Monday, February 18.

caMORON is satan's right hand man
The police should never have arrested him, the CPS should most certainly not have charged him and the law is an **** where it allows this to happen.
We let paedophile's walk the streets and don't jail them but a soldier who's suffering from PTSD is put through all of this - well done government/police etc - HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME

were court marshalled and shot at dawn.
You would have thought that the government of today would have learnt something from past mistakes , they have not.
They still send people off to war , this time not even fighting for this country .
Many of them come home and end up sleeping on the streets and have no one to care for them.
Many of them suffering from PTSD yet the government still does not care.
Harry Killick is suffering from PTSD and should not even be on trial.
Does the government care ?
No and it never will .
There is no big photo opportunity for cant care Cameron to care about
soldiers with PTSD
