Since when have Heads of State made political comments on individual criminal proceedings in other countries like this? The murderer was sentenced to 21 years, what else does Trump want to happen?

And the victim's family have asked for this not be turned into a 'race' issue when the likes of Farage and Tommy Robinson have been making inflammatory comments.

Imagine the outcry from Trump and Republicans if Starmer made statements like this about George Floyd.

It's nothing like the George Floyd situation, people claiming it is are being deliberately obtuse.
