I think it would be better if they got away from the term 'life' which doesn't mean what it says and came up with a different criteria by which they gave a particular number of years. And it should be judged by the severity of the crime. So that somebody could be given say 15, 20, 30 years and stick to that number, not halving it before they have even started the sentence as they do. |

I'm not sure but I think i don't lean towards life being life because it the perpetrator is very young, just maybe there is a chance that there would be remorse and a change and life would mean say if they were 18 70+ years, whereas if the person was in their 30s/40s/50s life might be more applicable. |

As young as I was at the time, I can remember the hanging of Ruth Ellis, which I think was 1954, and the last female to be hung, in England. I seem to think I can remember men being hung, but maybe I just read about that. |

No to capitol punishment but if a judge says life then that is exactly what they should get, not with the recomendation hat they should serve a menimum of 12 years. The victim has no life, the victims family have a life sentence. |

DNA is not the 100% people think it is apparently . Then there is the question of what if someone placed your DNA at the scene of the crime? |

if hanging were still around today, Ruth Ellis would not have been hanged - in France she would have got away with it then - it was a crime of passion and he provoked her big time |

Aggree so much there Ann...I know he called his brother to come and help him get the villan but to think he and his family were tied up while this career criminal and his mates robbed and scared the what not out of him and his family and the victim has been jailed. The thug who tied the family up and robbed them is bragging 'You cannot touch me'...Eh! and he is right apparently...I cannot comprehend this at all. |
