Brighton factually.....
He was said to be "devastated" by the original diagnosis in October so he probably suffered a few months of self pitying torment.

Not sure what he originally thought he had to look forward to before the diagnosis to cause his devastation at the diagnosis.

He was "devastated" because, he felt on guilt, and was probably living a good life in prison.
Sad but probably true.

I’m really pleased that he spent all those years rotting in prison having to face the terror of what he did every day along with the realisation that he’d never be a free man. How depressing. This is much better than him being put out of his misery like you might do to a pet you love to prevent it from being in pain.

This. Sit there with little to do other than contemplate the actions that put you there and with no chance of getting out, living in constant fear of fellow inmates desperate to kick the absolute shit out of you.

Hasn’t it been shown in the States that it is more expensive to execute a criminal than imprison them for life.

I don’t know if it is still the case , but once appeals etc are factored in, it’s just cheaper to lock them up and throw away the key. I don’t think it’s a deterrent either, how many criminals go out and commit any crime thinking “ I’m going to get caught for certain “?

It was when I read about the huge costs involved re appeals etc etc that I changed from wanting the death penalty for the likes of Bishop, and now accept that life in prison is a much better way of justice.

That might be the case in America, but I doubt if it is/was over here. I really don't know how much of a deterrent it is - the re-offending rate is a rather rare statistic though ................

Yet another reason for rejecting the death penalty. I can't imagine anything worse than being kept in solitary for the rest of your life, slowly watching and feeling yourself disintegrate, physically and mentally, without any respite, or hope. And with a possibility and constant fear of someone inside finding some way to get close to you then maim you. And finally, an unpleasant death, mitigated by only the most basic NHS care that can be delivered via the prison. Nobody showing you an ounce of kindness. What a way to live. And how . . . . deserved.

Not the wrong thread. Subliminal post. You'll have to solve it to get the message.

A death penalty would be a slippery slope, with politicians manipulating our instinct for revenge in return for votes. Evereyone likes to think they know where to draw the line: child killers? Tick. Terrorists? Tick. Police killers? Tick. Any deliberate murderer? Tick. People who accidentally kill children through carelessness such as drink driving? Tick. People who disable other people in unprovoked assaults? Tick. People who 'interfere' with children but don't kill them? Tick. Bank robbers? Tick. Post office robbers? Tick. People who incite others to commit acts of terrorism over the internet from the comfort of their bedsit? Tick. When did you stop ticking? Why do you think even Thatcher's massive majority of tory MPs failed to outvote those opposed to reintroducing hanging? There is a boundary that humans should not cross outside of war. And that's killing other humans. Judicial killing in cold blood is immoral. And that's before we get anywhere near the issue of preventing miscarriages of justice that can never be rectified if the missjudged person is scattered ash.

I see you beat me to it. But more succinctly. Not for the first time.

Why do you ask questions that everybody knows the answer to? We all know the death penalty won't come back, not in our lifetimes anyway. It's not even a question. The point about re-offending, though hypothetical, still stands as an irrefutable, if unwelcome, fact.
