Come on folks, I would have thought someone would have posted about this by now. Where are the calls for him to be rendered down and turned into fertiliser??
So thoughts folks? 40 years long enough? Or was 50 more appropiate? I personally feel that unless there was a very good reason he took leave of his senses then there is a case for constant surveillance/imprisonment.

Not much to say about it really, as far as I am concerned he isn't likely to make it to 91 so should never get out. I would be far happier if he was given a death sentence, but sadly that is not possible in the UK at this time.
Yes, it is a shame that people get legal aid for criminal charges, but if any of us ever got charged I think we'd be more than grateful for that fact.

He should just have been executed, would have been a damn sight cheaper, no food and clothing to pay for and no lawyers to pay, for his appeal..I personally feel that unless there was a very good reason he took leave of his senses then there is a case for constant surveillance/imprisonment.

Look how the system works in the US and tell me it works out cheap.

"Another argument (specific to the United States) on the capital punishment debate is the cost. The convict is more likely to use the whole appeals process if the jury issues a death sentence than if it issues life without parole.[9] But others who contest this argument say that the greater cost of appeals where the prosecution does seek the death penalty is offset by the savings from avoiding trial altogether in cases where the defendant pleads guilty to avoid the death penalty.[10]". A system in the UK would not have to follow the US version exactly though. Having said that we could not have capital punishment being in Europe.
Read between the lines though - ESTIMATED to have cost half a million quid in costs..... sentence SLASHED by 10 years..... potentially allowed EARLY release....
Mmm, lets see, he's still going to be late 70's when he's up for parole, but even then, there is no guarantee. So assuming he serves his sentence, he's going to be 82. Now, I am sure that he still could be a risk at that age, but is unlikely. Its unlikely that he will actually live that long anyway, given the average life of a man in this country anyway.
Yes, its not great, but its a change of the rules that has lead to this - and yes, its probably for the better as its not down to the Home Office minister to set tariffs for prisoners.

t their pants with range on that thread What ever happened to the term "tot"? It used to be ubiquitous for any toddling human interest story, but now gets used with much less frequency.
