35 years is it enough ?

[Leekbrookgull]

I don't know how to link the local papers (LeekPost & Times,and The Senitnel) However many of you are familiar with 'Cheddleton house fire murder case' in which four people died. Understandablely feelings are running high in the area. The judge,sentenced Goldstraw to the maximum term at least 35 years. Is that reasonable ? Or should it mean LIFE ?

 

[Da Man Clay]

Not enough, Should mean life

 

[Stevie Boy]

trouble life over here means about 15 years and out in about 8

Hang the bastard

Hang the bastard

No. 2 good for the ****. Let him rot in solitary confinment for the rest of his miserable life

This case is a disgrace- the guy should be locked up for life meaning he dies in prison. He is clearly a very dangerous person.

Judge,Mr Justice Mitting gave Goldstraw the mandatory life sentence of 35 years. (4 murdered thats least than 9 years a life)

why should taxpayers have to keep this man fed and housed for the rest of his life?

a cood candidate for the chair..

It's a minimum of 35 years and that means he will be 66 even before he is considered for parole.

Considering that he has killed before, it would be very unlikely that he would ever be paroled.

Perfect case for bringing back the death penatly

Given what clippedgull has just said, it seems he won't let out, ever.

And as for hanging - no thanks. We're a civilized nation.

Perfect case for bringing back the death penatly

As opposed to any other murder conviction?

 

[Seagullible]

just think that some murderes should be killed off rather than using up tax payers money keeping them alive in relative comfort with the possibilty of escape (admittedly very slim)

Like Huntley an Shipman, who both preferred the option of death when faced with a life behind bars, reflecting on what they had done?

Exactly. It's a MINIMUM of 35 years. It's basically a way of putting him away for the rest of his life whilst adhering to the laws requiring judges to give times rather than imprisoning indefinately.

4leek. use it as a issue.

It's always easy to say, "bring back the death penalty". But as Simster said, we're a civilised nation.

Who doubted the Guildford 4 were guilty?? Not many. So they would be dead by now. That's what would happen
