Nottingham has been at the centre of a particularly horrendous trial during the last week and these were the words of the mother of one of the 3 victims Calocane murdered.
As the judge said he will sentence him to the rest of his life in an hospitalised institution (like Rampton or Broadmoor). So what might have served justice better than that?
The police have come in for some harsh criticism for not putting the killer away earlier when he assaulted an officer. But as the asst police chief said, the prosecution laws would not have supported incarceration for that offence, so doesn't the fault lie with the law rather than the police.
Doubtless, there will be those who would favour execution, but this is against the law and in any case would it be fair for a man with such serious mental illness?
