I've put an edit in my original post, I obviously made a total mess of it, sorry for that. It didn't come across at all as I meant, I didn't mean to stir the pot more for you, my fault.

This sort of thing really ticks me off.
9 years is nothing for what this man has done!
Those responsible for letting this rubbage back out on the streets should be on trial themselves.
Mark my words, he'll be back in prision in less than 5 years with more innocent victims left in his wake.

And what an insult to the poor family....
Here at Christmas time too..
Grrrrrr....Tis' just not right!!!

life should mean life - thats my opinion i think 9 years is too short for murder. i watched a programme last week that talked to Denise Bulger on which was pretty distressing to watch.

not being able to anywhere with a Liverpool postcode doesn't make the pain go away and isn't going to bring her nephew back

i really feel for your friend Claire

Makes me sick.
Hahaha.

The fact you think the police need backing up for shooting someone (who incidentally wasn't a suspected terrorist), and those that wont do so are 'wishy washy liberals' shows you're utterly utterly clueless.

I'm probably going to get slated for this but, I would prefer my taxes to be spent on people who deserve to live and not on some evil b*st*rds. We are paying for 3 meals a day, central heating, sky TV. Criminals are getting these everyday while there are kids sleeping rough on the street at the mercy of pimp, pushers and paedophiles.

I know that miscarriages of justice happen, but with very strict rules and regulation in place the death penalty could work. I think we all know what would happen if a referendum was held on the subject.

'Work'? How?

It won't save tax payers money and it wont reduce crime either.

It 'works' in parts of the USA so why not here?

Why wouldn't it save money? It's cheaper to put a sick animal to sleep than pay for long term care. (Analogy)

Why won't it reduce crime? I personally would be more scared of committing a crime if the punishment was more severe.

Common sense really.

Claire, I think you're friend needs to start writing. Writing to whoever she can, Jack Straw, local MP, prison service. To stop these other two getting parole. Write every week, get her friends to write, start a campaign.
It might not do any good, but at least then her side would be heard, not like the mess made at the first parole board.

Life for a life. Not 9 years.

'fraid it doesn't work, as has been discussed on here a few times.

this particular case sucks big hairy's, 9 years is completely pitiful and outrageous. of the 3 people involved did he show the most remorse? has he served his time the "right way", was he least involved? i do not know the answers to any of these questions as none of us do, and even if we were to find them out it would not help claires friend not one iota. i can merely play devils advocate as to the reasons he was let out early.

there are measures in place which allow appeals of sentences laid down to guilty parties, why can't there be a reverse appeal?
