Headmaster murder - no menace to society

[vehelpfulguy]

So Learco Chindamo, who murdered his headmaster in 1996, is now no longer a menace to society. We shall see shall we.

It says:

The tribunal found that, while Chindamo had committed an extremely serious crime as a 15-year-old, he no longer posed a serious threat to society.

The deputy governor of Chindamo's prison had written a letter to the tribunal saying that the 26-year-old was one of only a few offenders he had met whom he believed had demonstrated a change for the better and was capable of a "lawful and purposeful" life on release.

****

I just hope he does not finish up living near me !

What planet is that bloke living on.
I'd like to see him face the dead mans wife and say that.
He took some ones life once and he is capable of doing it again. Especially now he knows hes going to get such morons like this bloke believing every word he says.

You obviously don't believe people can ever change then. Anyoen ever see the Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures, with Kate Winslet? The true story of two schoolgirls who murdered the mother of one of them? They spent a while in prison and were released. One's whereabouts is unknown. The other turns out to be a respectable writer (of crime books). They've never murdered anyone else, remarkably enough.

he is scum and needs to be treated as such.

but yet again our wonderful courts have ruled in the criminals favour by not allowing an appeal against the failed deportation attempts by our lame government.

put him on a plane and drop him over the ocean somewhere, who cares, this piece of trash will soon be forgotten

He's lived in England since the age of six! Sorry, but this is his home, no matter how bad he is. If he has any chance whatsoever of rehabilitation it is in the country he knows, not by being dumped in the middle of a country of which he probably by now knows next to nothing of anymore.

Jno I'm looking at it from the dead blokes families point of view.
How must they be feeling when the whole world seems to be siding with the man who took a much loved member of their family away.
No one could possibly know for sure that he will never do it again.
We do not know if he has learnt anything from this whole affair.
And don't tell me that if it was a member of your family who was killed by some one like him you would not be thinking and saying the same thing.
