Another "Where`s The Justice" Thread

As above another of those "Where`s the Justice" threads and sorry but I`ve gotta have a rant.

9 years ago my friends nephew aged 15 was murdered not far from where I live. The murder in itself was bad enough but Michael was tortured brutally for 2 hours during which time attempts were made to cut his ear off, his neck was broken and then he was finally kicked to death. He was murdered by three 16 year olds the "leader" of whom thought Michael was having a relationship with his ex girlfriend. The three lads were each sentenced to life imprisonment.

However my friends sister recently recived a letter saying that one of the boys was being considered for parole and she was invited to attend the hearing at Wellingborough Prison. Allowing victims families to speak at a parole hearing is a new project initiated by the Government in order to "protect the interests of victims in the criminal justice system". My friends sister was the first person in the country to take part in this new project. She was told she could read out a statement at the hearing which she prepared and took with her but once there she was not allowed to read her statement out as "it had not been prepared by a professional" so she basically had to sit in silence!!!!

This boy has now been released from prison today...... I know that there`s people that will say "at 16 he was a kid" but I`m sorry I don`t hold with that arguement. At 16 years of age a person knows right from wrong and what these boys did to my friends nephew was barbaric. Michael didn`t die as a result of a prank gone wrong or something going too far it was planned all along that he was going to be killed. They took with them a cassette player and whilst they tortured him and tried to sever his ear they played "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel as they wanted to "re-enact" the scene from the film Reservoir of Dogs.

I`m at a loss as to understand how somebody can commit murder, be given a life sentence then be released 9 years later!!!!!!

Where is the justice? i`m a firm believer in a life sentence meaning life in prison but this is just taking the p...

this is the exact reason people are taking the law into their own hands

Reading this angers me.

I really feel for your friend

that kid whos just got out of prison will probably get murdered because somebody will want revenge even if its not the family

He`s been released to a new location and a private address.... the condition of his parole is that he doesn`t set foot into an area with a Liverpool postcode!!!!

So basically we`ll be ok in Liverpool but anyone else living in any other part of the country could fall victim to this lad who`s now only 24 or 25. I`m sorry but to my mind people like him are born evil, they must have a faulty gene in their makeup cos i`ve never known a lad of 16 who`s capable of committing the crime this lad did!

its really hard to say who and why this chap has killed somebody. one thing is though no matter what excuses he has he knows its wrong to kill somebody.

i bet if he was all alone he wouldnt of done it. again its this typical thing where they act all tough when there in their groups

I know that a lot of people don't agree, but we should have a death penalty.
