    The reason we need a Capital punishment option

    beggars belief

    Sarah Payne's murderer Roy Whiting has had his 50-year jail term reduced by 10 years by a High Court judge.
    When will we get life means life sentencing or the option to remove the offenders from the planet

      We can't afford to keep people inside for life anymore. As they get older they need to be taken to see doctors etc. Lots of man power required, this really racks up's the Group 4 bill.

          Couldn't agree less AP. Life should mean life for these villains. Simples

            I think I'd be far too biased to have a constructive opinion.

              I think a pragmatic approach should be applied in this case. When he's eligible for parole (c age 80) he will most likely not be a danger to society any more.

              If he'd been convicted today, he would be in prison for the rest of his life (assuming the ECHR doesn't rule that whole life terms are a bad thing).

                Absolutely disagree. As a paedophile, he will always be a danger to society in some way or another.

                But it's also about the sentence reflecting the crime - this didn't in the first place IMO.

                  The tariff system has been removed now*, as people generally don't like the idea of people "being out in x years", but the fact is he won't be let out if he's a danger.

                  Anyway, there will probably be an easy chemical cure for paedophilia in 40 years time.

                  And flying cars. And a global meltdown. And a new world order. And crisps that taste of banana and marmite. And retinal screen implants.





                  * minimum sentences can still apply, but they call it something else. I forget what.
