Not sure of the Scottish prison system, but I think he should be safe until he is transferred to the Big hoose at age 18.

21 or 23 in some circumstances.

What I don't get, from what I've read, is how he managed to kidnap her whilst everyone slept without her making any noise?
It's not totally impossible that the phone call he made to the Dads girlfriend in the middle of the night was to alert her to assist with this but he vastly exaggerated to the police the role that she played.
Why are you giving this creature the slightest benefit of the doubt?! The ONLY thread connecting the dad's girlfriend to this act is the bullst attempt at incrimination by his defence. This version of events was never given to the police to investigate. Literally pulled it out his arse on the first day of the defence proceedings last week in court.

The media is a lot to blame here. They sensationalised this pathetic alternate reality because it sounded like something out of Broadchurch and now it's in people's heads that the family were somehow "in on it". Even though there was no basis of truth in it - the desperate clamouring of a juvenile monster who knew he was bang to rights who thought he could just blame someone poorer, "scummier", and female.

Let the family go in peace FFS.

Apparently he struggled not to burst out laughing during the trial.

I know I shouldn't think such illiberal and reactionary thoughts but handcuffing him and locking him in a room with the Mother and a Stanley knife seems like a pretty good idea.

A repulsive individual who has totally voided the right to continue breathing.

admitted it after trial only at sentencing. would capital punishment for baby rapist killers really be wrong. i mean have a judges trial, all the evidence should be validated, life for a life.

I can only hope that prison life is less than comfortable for him. What a disgusting sub-human piece of st.

As an aside and a very serious aside, given his age, I wonder if there has been any attempt to deduce, in simple terms as to why this crime was committed?

For example, what was his childhood, parenting & upbringing all about?

Scary stuff!

Absolutely zero point in keeping that evil, twisted piece of garbage alive.

Hopefully his stay in prison is short and ends in a suitably brutal manner.

May he rot.

Anyone wanna take bets on how long till he's found dead? I'll go first, I give him at the very most 3 years until he's found beaten to death in his cell.

Everytime we hear about these devilish acts I always ask my partner, how the hell can these Lawyers try and defend the accused.

I understand its their jobs, but when does it cross the line, when do they think/say no I don't want to defend the accused on this case....

How do they feel if they succeed in their job and get people off sentencing that blatantly did it...we all know some people get off on technicalities or justice isn't served etc...it happens but how does it make these people feel who are "just doing their jobs"?

They cant just block it out or "its my job" surely theyre repping people that are just pure evil.

This article is the closest ive seen anything on the above..

Our justice system cannot work unless everyone on trial can get representation. Representing scumbags is a duty to the system.

It also holds the CPS' feet to the fire, incentivising good police and prosecutorial work. Defence teams don't win trials - prosecutions lose. Sloppy or poor evidence handling, police tactics, procedural issues must be avoided, or else a canny defence team can capitulate on them so a decent defence system ensures standards are kept as high as possible.

There was an article about him on the BBC today - a good read.
