So, there is a guy in the US on death row after being convicted of 3 counts of rape.
This guy commits HOW MANY, and is eligble for parole.
The coppers bust a gut proving they have the right person, and the DPP & courts let them down.
Life should mean life. Full stop. End of Comment.
I
am sure there are stats out there, about how many convicted offenders re-offend with either a similar offence, or a "greater" one. I would suspect that it would not be an insignificant number.
Judges are supposed to reflect community expectations in their sentencing. If you ever want to get your blood pressure up, have a read of the sentencing comments from your local court. They should be available on-line.
