Adeboladjo Is Appealing His 'whole Life' Term For The Murder Of Lee Rigby.

[sandyRoe]

Was the sentence which meant he would never be free too harsh?

[dannyk13]

No

[pixie373]

No. He deserves to be in jail for the rest of his life.

[ummmm]

No.

[sandyRoe]

I agree. If this crime didn't merit a life sentence where 'life' meant just that I don't know what would.

[pixie373]

Exactly, sandy. Whether it will deter others too, i don't know. But i hope it does.

[ummmm]

Exactly...and captured on film.

[nannybooby]

no , think he is a good candidate for ......wait for it ...... bringing back hanging !

[cassa333]

Wether he is successful or not is imaterial.

Evertime he appeals or his case gets reviewed it is more publicity for his cause.

as far as I am concerned any life sentance should mean life and only given for crimes that warrent it. Otherwise they should have a minimum tarriff that they serve and not half just because they plead guilty.

[emmie]

no, he should stay there till he dies.

[Baldric]

No is was not, he should effectively lose his life as well

[BlueToffee]

A 'whole life' term is just right for this type of person committing this dreadful crime.

The death penalty is barbaric in any civilised society, and it would be too good for Adeboladjo anyway.

[emmie]

don't make him a martyr for the cause

[Butterbun]

I hope they refuse his leave to appeal.

casa333 just a few points.
A tarif is not an end point for the sentence , it is just the minimum time that must be served before an application for parole can be started. The actual release date ( even if granted) will be some time (normally several years) after that.
The sentence reduction for an early guilty plea is 1/3rd not 1/2 .
Automatic release at the 1/2 way point is ONLY for sentences of less than 4 years.
Lastly life does mean life, in that if a 'lifer' is released after say 25 years they are still sentenced to 'life'so if they do commit another crime or are even arrested they can be sent straight back to jail without another trial. There are cases where someone has served many years of a life sentence then been free on licence for years but was then sent back to jail . I rememer a case where a 'lifer' served 20 years was free for another 20 years only to be returned to jail in his 70s fora minor theft. The release does NOT 'cancel' the life sentence which remains in force until the offender dies.

[ummmm]

That's very interesting Eddie. You should save what you have written there to save you time from typing the same thing over and over whenever someone gets it wrong, as they usually do.

[EDDIE51]

Ummm ^^ Yes I have already had to post it several times.

[pusskin]

Let him live his life out in prison, with no outside contact.
No mobiles , tele, radio. And hope he lives a very miserable life.

[EcclesCake]

No. If he was granted leave to appeal it is therefore his right.
