They were appealing because their sentences were "massivly excessive"

You can understand tehm appealling when others get just 12 years for murder! Life should mean they die in jail then there would be no argument at all as to the tariff applied.

Spax has a point. The law is saying a policeman's life is worth more, about 4-6 times more, and that can only demoralise.

It should be 35 years for all. Period.

The reason they appeal is indeed because a) they can ( not brought up to accept responsibility as part of a whole generation ) and b) the sentence is officially outrageous.

I have no obejctions to 35 years for murder - matters not your profession. With such a cold and clear penalty, maybe tw-ats would think again.

The difference in sentencing for the murder of a police officer should be the difference between "the drop" and being hoisted by a crane in the local shopping centre.

I see no reason why the murder of a police officer should not be treated differently. By virtue of their job we owe them that respect. This type of respect is vastly different to that which they need to earn and maintain - S]

What we don't want is pathetically short sentences for the murder of MoP and long sentences for the murder of BiB. That does indeed send the wrong message. Not that the BiB's life was more valuable, but that a MoP's was of so little account.

surely they have now shown they are far too stoopid to be let free and never ever be let out of prison ever again?

sure is justified in my eyes by their bullshit reason to be let out early.

No. Life should mean life, not a little over half of your life. If you are sentenced to life it should mean that you will never walk the streets as a free man again, ever. You will die in prison. And it should be life at hard labour too. In fact ALL prisoners, regardless of length of sentence should be made to do labour. Bring on the chain gangs and rock quarries.

I do agree it should be 35 years or perhaps even life, difference between MOP and BIB is BIB do not always have the luxury of being able to walk or even run away.

In executing his authority for the murder of a BIB the sentance should be more.

Taking a life should mean death. IMO.

Do you want these scumbags living in society? Or rather, living full stop? Hell no!

Hang em high!

In theory I agree with you, a life for a life. But...

All the time that there is the possibility that an innocent person may be convicted then the death penalty is quite simply not an option. If there were a method to ascertain guilt beyond any possible doubt, absolute and irreproachable then yes, hang 'em. Until that day arrives (which it never will) then I'll settle for life at hard labour.
