Ian Huntley

exactly chief. sack all this lockign them away for their own safety, if ur in a high security wing of the jail and people r wanting to do u in u its cos uve either raped or killed a woman or kid and u pretty much get what u deserve.

Although I agree that living might be more of a torture for him, we also know that he will be put in solitary because otherwise the other prisoners will get to him. Also your tax money is feeding him and paying for the prison he is in. Kill the b*stard, his punishment will be an eternity anyway. I know it is the kind of justice we would want, but we won't get that anyway.

Tash

maxine carr needs shooting just for looking so damn weird. As if you would employ anyone that looks like her to work with kids

LOL

Adrian (USA) will have a field day. British justice is about treating the defendants in law trials as being innocent until being proved guilty.
However this week Angela Canning, a mother of a 7 year old daughter who got a life sentence in the British Penal system 3 years ago (for allegedly smothering two of her 3 earlier children who succumned to supposedley cot death before they were a year old.
This case was based on the prosecution evidence of a doctor (aged 75) who based his theory on cot death as follows. One is accidental, two is tragic but three cot deaths in one family is murder. (Other doctors at the trial claiimed they had no evidence how the children died.)
The woman was ostracised in prison and had boiling water thrown over her by other female criimals.
Today that professor roy meadows stands discredited as 3 other women with similar convictions based on his testimony have been released without prejudice. There is now the possibility that 74 other women convicted on his testimony alone will now be released and convictions dropped.
British justice is without flaws.???????
Would you want any of the above posters as your jury in a Britsh trial?
At least have the decency to wait and hear the final verdict before you pronunce your own sick sentence.
I disagree with the death penalty (one innocent victim is worth 300 murderers, I heard that 30 years ago, what about the family of that 1 innocent ?)
personally I have attended a lot of army / civil court cases and it is the background/ makeup of the defendant that creates an effecct upon you. mostly the defendant comes from a poor background and has often been the victim of abuse themselves. My ex wife was a nurse who used to tell me all sorts of stories about why people abuse either themselves or other victims ( a cry for help)
I would imagine once the full facts are known, people are sensible enough to make their own conclusions.
It was the media in california who put Arnie in power, so apparently we have the brit pack here to convict Huntly through their thorough reading of the british newspress.

Personally if Huntley is deemed responsible, i would chop his balls off.

like the bible, let he or she who is without sin cast the first stone.
british justice in the last 30 years has not done much to reedem itself.

pfft, notice lack of denounciation of huntley in my post

.........

Since when do to wrongs make a right? if we torture him we are no better than him and have no right to judge him.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there Shuggy O.o

Taking into account the fact that it is unlikely that Huntley will be convicted of murder, a lot of people seem to be advocating the death penalty for people who commit manslaughter. Now what exactly is manslaughter? The taking of life without intention, predetermined or otherwise of causing death. Now this is a very wide belt of crimes, anything from the Soham Case to somebody causing death by reckless driving, or even killing in self defence can be included in this. Are you people really saying that somebody who takes a life completely by accident should be killed by the state for their crime/mistake?

Huntley has admitted killing one of the girls, but as far as I know, there is no evidence to support the fact that he killed these girls intentionly, or that even had a motive for killing these girls intentionly. Remeber that it has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt that he killed them intentionly for him to be convicted of murder. It is obviously tragic that these two girls were killed, but the circumstances surrounding their deaths still remain unclear. The British public want somebody to be held responsible for their deaths, and the man who is to be held responsible is Ian Huntley, but by dealing out the death penalty to him, we are entering the realms of revenge, which is not what the British Justice system is here to do.
