Woman jailed for killing mum-in-law with rolling pin (From Daily Echo)

Hang her and be done with it and save the tax payers money for her accommodation for the next 11 years (of which she will probably serve 5-6!)

She will serve a minimum of 11 years as she has a life sentance whic is 25 years, she may serve more than 11 if the Home Office do not feel that she is safe to be let out at that time.

I do find it amusing when people demand justice, and tougher sentences, and also refer to prison as "accommodation at the taxpayers expense". Can't have it both ways, John C. Taxpayer. You want a justice system? You have to pay for it.

It's important to remind ourselves that capital punishment was abolished here because the last man sent to the gallows was proven to be innocent afterwards.

Peter Allen and Gwynne Evans were the last men hanged in the UK but they confessed to the crime and have never been proven innocent?
Please explain.

How can they call her a Southampton woman - when she's an illegal immigrant?

Where does it say she was an illegal immigrant?

I do beg your pardon, you're right.

Still, for me personally, as soon as you send an innocent man to his death, it invalidates the whole thing.

Yes I agree a death sentence can never be justified, even though it may seem appealing.
State sanctioned executions would not be a step in the right direction, IMO.

A dog born in a stable is not a horse

In yesterdays Echo it stated that she was here illegally having overstayed her visa.

Oh yes! I forgot about guilt-detecting bullets!

Not bothered. Like many am sick of the violent crime in this country.
If you don't want the death penalty, then lock them away for life.

"Not bothered".

And we wonder why crime is out of control.

No. What I am saying regarding being not bothered is. I am not bothered what the anti death penalty brigade say.
Bring it back, but if that is not acceptable then keep them in prison until they die. There are evil people out there who are beyond redemption. You will never do any thing with them. The woolly liberal brigade have had their way for too long and you will not hear a better example than that when Paddy Ashdown when he said that he was uneasy about Bin Laden being shot on sight. There are too many people who have been murdered, raped because evil scum have been let out of prison

Wait, what? You're comfortable with the USA simply sending troops to another country to assassinate someone, on the pretext that he MAY have committed a terrorist act against them? You don't think it's at all worrying that a foreign government can simply decide that someone should no longer be alive, and have impunity to assassinate them? You think it's "woolly liberal" to express concern that a superpower has appointed itself World Police, and nobody else has a say?

This gets more and more interesting.
I assume that by your logic we should not have attempted to assassinate
Hitler in WW11.
Bin Laden MAY have been guilty of terrorist offences?
I feel that we can only agree to disagree.

What's Hitler got to do with it?

As for bin Laden, well, the USA invaded countries on the strength that they were harbouring 'the man behind 9/11', and they spent a decade chasing 'the man behind 9/11' before finally killing him. So he must have been behind the attacks, right?

Hmmm.

Believe what you like. I can't stop you. But be aware that there's more to the news than what you see on News at 10.

In case you can't be bothered to read the whole article, I'll post the juicy bit here:


On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11."

But I guess you know better than the FBI.

Get your facts right. Where have I said that Bin Laden was responsible for
9/11?
But I am glad that the evil man is dead.
