life should mean life

Reading about the serial sex attacker who was found guilty of at least 25 attacks on lone women late at night. The headline says he is jailed for life. When you read the article it says he will have to serve at least 7 and a half years before he is eligible for release. What world do politicians and judges live in where they deem life to be 7 and a half years? Even the 15 years that I think life refers to is a joke. And why should someone who pleads not guilty and drags his victims through the court system be eligible for any early release anyway. Then there are the student murderers one of whom was released on licence by mistake. They realised their mistake but didn't bother to re arrest him and he went on to kill. I'm sure he is in line for a hefty suspended probation reporting community service type sentence, if the probation service can be arsed to enforce it. Either bring back the death penalty or make life mean life.

  • There is a great deal of confusion re sentencing at present....as things stand the man in the street hasn't a clue what sentence someone is going to serve.........we need to know and things should be far more transparent.
  • It appears that this scum bag may have been shopped to OB but they never followed up on the info. He may have raped as many as 20 after this, he is suspected of attacking over 70 !!!!!!!!

    Serial offenders should get Life without the chance of parole.
  • Chop his knackers off. Then introduce him to the relatives of his victims (and their baseball bats).

    When it comes to sentencing we have gone stark, staring mad in this country.

    Seven and a half years for a man that has ruined at least 25 lives and possibly many, many more?

    Christ, we need a revolution.
  • Put them all on some island
