altus Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Link please dude Murderer Arthur Hutchinson in first whole-life tariff appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTrophy Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I think they ought to let him out. Not forgetting to let everyone know where he lives and what he has done. He will wish he was back inside, he will have no life outside. Best thing for him to do is sign a donor form and let his body be used as parts and feed the rest to the dogs. That way instead of him costing £120,000 a year to keep he could help people waiting for organs and save £120,000 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah, let him out, and provide him a free home, next door to one of these judges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 That link leads straight back to this thread, strange. I think the threads were merged earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I honestly don't see the problem. He can challenge his full life term all he wants - doesn't mean we have to let him go free, even if he ends up getting a minimum term applied retrospectively to his sentence. The EU haven't banned life sentences - just life sentences with no minimum term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteowl Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The ECHR ruling did not say life term prisoners should be let out, it says they have a right to a parole hearing, which will then say they should stay in prison until they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yet another thread. Does the search function not work in certain browsers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvp82 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Instead of handing down a whole life tariff, what about giving out sentences like a minimum of 100 years. While the prisoner will end up spending the rest of their life behind bars, in theory they do have a realise date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah, let him out, and provide him a free home, next door to one of these judges... The chances of him being released are minimal. This is about whether whole life sentences should be reviewed - as they used to be in this country after 25 years until 2003. There's nothing to stop the authorities reviewing his sentence and then saying "Nope - you're staying inside". I'm not even sure that letting someone build up their hopes that they might get released only to have them dashed is not worse for the inmate that just being told you're never getting out.
