Blondie73 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 James Bulger's mother will plead with a parole board later this month not to release one of her son's killers. Denise Fergus fears if John Venables is released he could kill again. He was sent back to prison for breaking the conditions of his release. Denise is also pleading for support for a petition to try to stop criminals profiting from their crimes. She's worried James's killers could end up with compensation if it's proved that journalists hacked their phones. The petition must close TODAY at 1:56pm - thousands of signatures are still needed!

melthebell Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 sorry, id have signed one for the first part but i cant sign it as its the second part, im not sure i can agree with something so sweeping and generalising as "all" prisoners, personally if journalists DID hack their phones then surely that is wrong, and no matter what the criminal did, they should be allowed compensation? its NOT profiting from their crimes, its profiting cos journalists did a crime to get info for their stories on said criminal / crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Arguably they wouldn't have attracted the attention of the journalists if they hadn't committed a crime mel So, you saying it's acceptable? Millie Dowler didn't commit a crime. That didn't stop her phone being hacked, did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that journalists who get stories by hacking phones are benefitting financially from crimes they commit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
