Should Colin Pitchfork Be Released?
https:/
By my reckoning, he's about 70 now. He has been in prison for 33 years for the brutal rape and murder of two fifteen-year-old girls, three years apart.
I'm not an advocate of the death penalty, but I don't think he should be released. What do you think?

Dave, this is my point. I also know two convicted "murderers", both of which I would trust with my life. I'm also a "victim" of someone currently in prison. But, it isn't about vengeance, it's about safety of the public.
Sometimes, 50 years won't be enough to rehabilitate someone to be released, sometimes 2 years will be. Length of time, isn't entirely the point.
I would only imprison deliberately dangerous people personally, for however long they need. But locking a motorist up for an accident, I don't think is helpful.
We should go with intention, rather than result, imv (not relevant here, I realise).

I recall watching the two-parter, 'Code Of A Killer' a few years back and i remember thinking then that, but for DNA, this guy would most likely have gone on raping and killing. He almost got away with getting a friend to give DNA in his place. He ought not to be released but, until our judicial system is radically overhauled, what are we to do?
The anonymity of the members of the parole board should be abolished.
Accountability and openness would make for fairer decision making.
Also, surely if we want to be humane, people like Colin Pitchfork could be housed for the rest of their lives in a remote place somewhere, but never allowed to integrate with the rest of society.
Or just string 'em up!

oh thank god
I wondered where Aryan Bank had gone
it's here !
It is a matter of law ( release )
and the law was changed so that the release date was NOT decided 33 y ago - coz fings change in between - see?
The rather odd comments of the Judge ( "take him dooooown and let him stay there for evva!" ) were a reaction to the new rules that he DIDN't say that - but ho hum even judges have to learn new tricks.
