Thought I'd just give a bit of pedantic information sir.prize, rather than reopen the debate on capital punishment on here. There's nothing new to say;it has, as it were, been done to death.
Doesn't it count for a few more years incarceration if there has been pre-meditation involved, he'd been stalking Georgia and pestering her and it's looking to me like he was possibly unhinged, it's also unusual that he is the same generation as Georgia, the victim, it usually is the case that the culprit is alot older.
Yes Jeza a lot of people will agree with you. I do.
It happens far too often where someone is murdered somewhere in the UK. We accept that it is part of life, ironically.
But when one lives only a couple of miles away from the terrible incident, it does make one think somewhat differently - even about capital punishment .
Sandy - we were discussing that today. He will still have plenty of time to become a family man and have a lengthy life. That definitely doesn't sound right.
He could be out when he's in his mid 30s. Murder is a dreadful crime and deserves a very long custodial sentence. I think a minimum of 25 years isn't unreasonable.
Jeza - I think ummmm is having a go at me, cos I started the thread (sorry, rant). But if she could experience the feeling within our close neighbourhoods, her views might be more sympathetic.
ummmm - contradicting you, the thread IS about the poor victim. RIP Georgia.
