Um... not so long ago!

"Since the incident on 26 May 1995, ..."

2-3 years might be more typical and 6 months might be better.

If it wasn't for the fact that about 2 people die on construction sites every week it might have held the media attention.

One has to wonder how this took so long to get to the courts. If they had been prosecuted soon after the event I am sure the sentence would have been much less severe. Being rather synical does this leave them rule to appeal against the level of the fine as it would probably have been much less back in the mid seventies?
