not sure where all the earlier posters live, maybe in the uk maybe not? I do and it gets no better when our system of justice is as it is.
once i believed in the death penalty but have come to see the error of that, mistakes can and do take place in any society, that is a fact, those mistakes should be able to be rectified.
but can it be right that a murderer is allowed out of prison after 12 years?? that is the recomendation of a judge in a recent murder case in this country?? it will never be right to kill but those who do should never be free
to those who mourn the 2 children, i have no words that can possibly help, but just hope that time helps
Yes i live in the UK and yes the justice system sucks.You can get sentenced to 12 years in prison but be out on good behaviour in 6. Thats if your conviction is upheld and not quashed because of incompetent police officers and CPS. These sicko's should be put away for LIFE. As in till they die. Unfortunately they will be released when they re no longer seen as a threat to the community. /me MAD. As i'm typing this i see that the police are confident the 2 bodies found are those of the missing girls- at least the waiting time is now over for their parents and they can finally start the mourning period.
Rest in peace
