Time to bring back the death penalty...
Discussion
There are some crimes so truly heinous that it's seriously time to talk about bringing back the death penalty.
What benefit is it to society of keeping these two sick
s alive in prison, how can sick individuals like this with no morals or feelings be rehabilitated even in 20 years.
At least the little man is at peace now. RIP

The parents of a 10-month-old boy have been found guilty of murdering him - 39 days after he was placed back into their care.
Stephen Boden and partner Shannon Marsden killed Finley Boden on Christmas Day in 2020.
Finley was found to have suffered 130 "appalling" injuries.
The couple were responsible for what the court heard was the "savage and brutal" murder of their son after burning and beating him in repeated acts of violence.
Finley's injuries included 57 breaks to his bones, 71 bruises and two burns on his left hand - one "from a hot, flat surface", the other probably "from a cigarette lighter flame".
Boden had claimed the family dog may have "jumped on" his son, inflicting broken ribs, while a tear to the inside of Finley's mouth - likely caused by a dummy being rammed in - was blamed on the child hitting himself with a rattle.

One of the reasons it was abolished was that juries were reluctant to send someone to the gallows - a decision that would remain with the jury members for the rest of their lives especially when there were well documented cases of mistakes/flawed/skewed evidence leading to a conviction.
The result of this reluctance was that scumbags who were clearly guilty were being found Not Guilty and walking out of the Court as free men.
I agree with many of the above comments but practical implementation is never going to happen.

I agree, I mean just look at the places in America where its still legal, no serious crime there...
Oh, hang on.
This case is utterly vile, disgusting, in fact there's no words to describe how horrific it is. Lock them up and make their lives hell, killing them gives them an easy way out.

What must be wrong with these 'people' to do this to another being? How do we root it out??
Death penalty probably won't stop it happening, & as pointed out above, how would you live with this if you were called up for jury service?
I suppose the only 'positive' to come out of this is the poor soul has been put out of his misery.....

I think for crimes that are unequivocal like a Nielsen, Sutcliffe, Venables or the like death is fine.
But so many times people have been found not guilty after years. But for crimes here people show no remorse, Breivik etc, public hanging is the only way to deter people as arses like him use their notoriety for their ow gain.
there are so many I would potentially hang the policeman who killed that lass a few years back, there are so many you just think ought to be popped, but it is never coming back.

I'm not saying using it as a deterrent as scum like this are a lost cause so what is the point of keeping them alive for decades
Don't leave it up to the jury, maybe in cases like this part of the sentencing guidelines could be crimes that outrage public decency or are so morally abhorrent like this that after the guilty verdict could be left to the judge to decide or it could be sent to the Home Secretary for them to decide on the death penalty.

That's very interesting, never considered that. The result of this reluctance was that scumbags who were clearly guilty were being found Not Guilty and walking out of the Court as free men.
