Just when I thought ...

... sentencing was getting a bit better (as in folk locked up for longer for heinous crimes) I come across this. Potentially out in 19 and 23 years? Eh?!? What about the poor little lad who not only died a horrific death but has also been denied his whole life? I'll never understand some of these sentencing decisions.

It certainly doesn't prevent murder or child abuse.

I suppose, depending on the case, their defence will go for things like coercion as mitigating circumstances.

Scum is not an appropriate description of this sort of people. I'm not sure what word truly describes such a person (s)

Good point.
Well made

That's out of order! don't you think?

Nonsense. What is the average jail time for a death row inmate? How much does it cost taxpayers in multiple appeals etc?

How so?

The ultimate Catch-22: drown and you're innocent; live and you're guilty.
In this country we usually hanged 'em high. Europeans fired 'em up.
