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?

No, it isn't. It's a genuine attempt to find out what others think. How on earth could it 'create a reaction that suits the poster'?Originally Posted by Piessince67

There was an alternative sentence available (according to a barrister (not involved in this case)) which he called a hybrid sentence where there would be a custodial sentence running behind the hospital sentence so that when (because there will be a when IMO) he is declared as no longer a threat he would go into a normal prison until such time as he is considered for parole. Apparently with this sentence, if declared as no longer a threat, he will be released straight away. As for the asst police chief, he is just trying to offset criticism, IF the police had followed up the failure to attend court, someone might have seen there was a problem.
The hybrid sentence would have been better.

The poster has shown himself over the years to be a provocative narcissit who loves picking up on people who he considers of lesser intelligence.Spelling mistakes etc
