Alex Crawford (last night, sorry if already posted):

In South Africa, such are the country's laws protecting endangered species, if the athlete had shot a rhino dead, he would have been jailed for between 10 and 77 years.

If he'd killed a lion, he would have faced a 15-year jail term. But for shooting dead a young woman, there's no minimum sentence for the conviction of culpable homicide.
