I expect him to give a plea of guilty and get life, but life in the UK life is 15 years, now that cannot be right. Life meaning life in this country will never happen, because of all the do good people that say, a prisoner must keep the knowledge that he might be freed one day.
As we are talking petty things MMI, I have not stated he is guilty, I stated that he has done the crime, yes it is presumptuous, but just in case you have not read the papers lately, the police have stated, “They are looking for no one else in connection with the murder of this poor girl,” I wonder what that means, you had better explain that to me also? If he is found guilty of the murder of a young innocent that has her life in front of her, then yes I would ask that he be executed, and just once more for you MMI. [A LIFE FOR A LIFE] in brackets this time so there is no need to highlight my words. Yes, I have suggested hanging judges be brought back, and you have grasped that implication clearly, in fact it was not a suggestion but a plea. It will not deter others committing murder, as I am not that naive to think of such things, but it would take a lot of trash off the streets. Let’s get something straight that we have all forgotten, I might be in favour of the death penalty, but that does not mean I like the idea, because I think it is a barbaric way of justice. I very much doubt that anyone that has written a post in this thread likes the death penalty, but until there is more just form of punishment that faces a perpetrator of these heinous crimes, they might be thinking like me that there is no alternative.
