ITV's new true crime drama, *Until I Kill You*, has sparked viewer outrage over its portrayal of the legal outcome for John Sweeney, who received only nine years in prison despite multiple life sentences. Fans expressed disbelief at the leniency of the sentence, questioning the justice system. The show, based on the real-life story of Delia Balmer, highlights her traumatic experiences with Sweeney, who had previously killed two women. Delia criticized the judge's decision and the police's failure to protect her, stating it left her feeling angry and frustrated. Viewers have taken to social media to voice their concerns about the legal system, with many feeling that victims are often let down. The show's writer acknowledged Delia's anger is directed more at the police and court system than at Sweeney himself.
