hobinfoot Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I’m not in favor of a mandatory death penalty. But I’ve no problem with executing people who have killed others and whose guilt like Pitchfork is beyond doubt including DNA evidence or being caught in the act.

butlers Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Yes but then it's going to be extremely arbitrary method of justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady did not become eligible for parole. As the case goes back to 1966, his sentence came under a number of versions of "life sentence" as described by the Home Office. One version was an "indeterminate" sentence was ruled to be a breach of human rights, This was widely reported at the time and changed for all "whole life" convicts. Hindley died just before a court decision which could have led to parole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Where have I got it in my head he became eligible for parole after 40 years then? Hmm. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think Pitchfork got someone else to take the DNA test on his behalf, initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are found guilty by irrefutable DNA evidence or caught in the act of killing then you will be sentenced to death if not you will be given life .

I totally agree, but suffice to say there is no place in civilised society for Pitchfork, life in prison appears to be the only compromise.

I can't get my head around the fact he's even being considered for release.. Child rapist/killers should never see the light of day again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching a TV mini series about him because he was the first person to be caught using DNA evidence and he did ask a friend to take the DNA test for him.
