Explain to me why the public have to shell out in the region of £2 million to keep this piece of human waste housed and fed for the next 35 years. I don't agree with the " we don't do revenge " argument. I don't see this as about revenge. If anyone believes there is a reason to attempt rehabilitation in this case then they are delusional IMHO. This is not a case where there is any doubt about the identity of the murderer.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Agree with you HKO. In cases like this where there is no doubt whatsoever about the killer, there should be no doubt whatsoever about the penalty.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Personally, I'd be OK with having a death penalty for proof of guilt is undeniable, but I also appreciate the counter argument about NOT having the death penalty. What I never understand is why, in cases like this, the sentence comes with a recommendation of at least 35 years before release. Why should murderers ever be released. I just don't get why life doesn't mean life.
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

a society with an over-supply of young men is always a violent society. such are the lessons of History & sociology.

There are many cases where guilt and identity are certain and these should IMHO be potentially capital . Westminster doesn't want a referendum in case is says yes. Murder rate has more or less doubled since abolition and 2/3 of people think capital punishment can be justified Edited by HKOwen (29 Oct 2021 2.08pm)

I just don't get why life doesn't mean life. Yes, there"s murders, and there"s murders. Someone pizzed on a night out gets in a fight and kills someone by hitting them over the head with an ashtray(remember them?), is one thing, a long sentence should prevail, but this lunatic, killing 2 people, pre meditated, deserves a whole life sentance, never being released, I was disappointed with 35 years, save money by putting these loons in a small cell with no bed and one bowl of soup a day with some bread, but never let him out!

There won't even be any sense of revenge for the family, or society, the solicitors will have taken the final drop of blood from that stone. It's just not going to happen.
