Letter: Point of view

Rough justice A 53-year-old grandmother has been sentenced to five years in jail for being so misguided as to keep her late father's German trophy pistol in her house. Unless there is more to the case than emerges from your report (17 June), the law which prescribes such a sentence must surely be looked at again, or the sentence suspended. No wonder our prisons are overcrowded.
