lottiecass Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 And it would stop being given as a sentence. ---------- Post added 19-10-2017 at 08:37 ---------- Strangely enough it also feels like talking to a brick wall from this side. Fair trial or not (and fair doesn't always mean either fair or the correct verdict) it's still killing. It's still the same outcome. Of course it wouldn't stop being given, there's people inside now that will never be released. As for a soul,its the same as a god,something nobody can find.

ukdobby Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 What actually is a persons soul? Must you be religious to believe we have souls? There's a few on here all with the first initial....R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Of course it wouldn't stop being given, there's people inside now that will never be released. True; and it would not 'stop being given' if-as in the case of a murder conviction- the sentence remains mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Of course it wouldn't stop being given, there's people inside now that will never be released. As for a soul,its the same as a god,something nobody can find. No, it wouldn't entirely stop. It would be used massively less though, as the majority of people given "life" are in reality given 30 years and will actually serve 15 with good behaviour. Judges don't accidentally give that tariff, juries don't accidentally convict knowing that that's the likely sentence. So if it meant something different then juries and judges would behave differently. ---------- Post added 24-10-2017 at 18:43 ---------- True; and it would not 'stop being given' if-as in the case of a murder conviction- the sentence remains mandatory. That would influence the likelihood of conviction and probably thus the charge that the CPS would choose to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He impaled their bodies on the iron railings of a neighbour’s fence. The only explanation he gave was that Samantha would not stop crying. " Apparently the actions of ending the life of the three children were quite gruesome as well, best not to be explained on the forum. Here is the question, should this piece of human detritus have been released from jail, or should he have languished inside until his demise. My choice, demise. The children's mothers pain is for life. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
