Rupert_Baehr Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I thought she would be up for parole in half the time of a 15 year sentence. Does anyone know for sure ? Either way, that's wayyyyyy to short a sentence. As others have said (and you have ignored) it isn't a 15 year sentence. The ONLY sentence for murder in England and Wales (and in the rest of the UK too) is life imprisonment. 15 years is a tariff. She cannot be considered for parole (unless there were some really extenuating circumstances) until she has served 15 years. At that point, she can be considered for parole - but 'being considered' is not the same as 'being granted.' If she is released at some time after that 15 year minimum, she will be released 'on licence'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balpin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 For someone to live in the conditions she chose too, i would consider she has some mental issues,I doubt very much she will get the help she needs in prison.It is sad the child died but no-one knows for sure her complete state of mind yet again social services and her close family failed, and they know it. So that makes it all right then does it? IMO it makes it worse. She has tortured and starved a fellow human to death. It seems as if you do not consider a child to be worth anything from your comment 'it is sad the child died'. We are not talking about a pet goldfish here you know. She is the one to blame, not social workers or family. People like her are not fit to live. She considers herself worthless also, otherwise why is she taking drugs? She seeks oblivion, let us give it to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sentences often run concurrently where the offences are related or arise out of the same circumstances. The Judge has to take into account the totality principle. What's that then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ sheffield Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 She is neither use nor ornament, add to that now a pointless burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior8 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 What's that then? It's the principle that the total sentence for a number of offences considered together should be just and proportionate, reflecting the overall seriousness of the criminality when all the offences are considered together.

sccsux Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 A Judge with sense would be one who sentences this animal to death. Actually, that is an example of a judge with no sense and one that imposes an illegal sentence. Thankfully we (in the UK) do not subscribe to state sponsored murder. Only backward countries execute people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 She has to serve at least 15 years before parole, and then release is not automatic. Reginald Kray had a 30 year tarriff but was never released, even though the murder he committed was no where near as bad as this one. he was released to die because of cancer or something else . so you got that wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
