    Psychopaths are not reformable. He should at least stay in for another decade and then get closely monitored.

    I thought life was at least a minimum of 20 years anyway. Sickening for the victims family reopening old wounds again. The Justice system in Ireland is incredibly lenient and I wouldn't even call it a justice system any more.

    I dunno but I'd be inclined to label anyone who murders another person with a fücking hammer as a psychopath...but that's just me.

    I don't see that? Only that he was released and some discussion of the review.

    Looks like today was a hearing on conditions - one does wonder why that wasn't done sooner - perhaps there has been a complaint.

    From the article, "Jesus, I?d love to kill someone, someone that no one would care about, like Darragh Conroy".

    Sounds fairly psycho.

    The most recent pictures of him online are all from his trial in 2003. He's 28 now. darren-goodwin-outside-court-in-2003.jpg?w=529&h=417

    Presumably the OP made that up for effect,a psychopath wouldn't be released .

    The victim looked like the typical person these scumbags like to assault,probable a gentle timid sort.

    The short sentences might be logical if there was some actual rehabilitation.Larry Murphy didn't do a damn thing in jail and they let him back out.

    What would you call someone who openly boasts about how they'd love to murder someone and then goes ahead and does just that?

    It did happen, a crime. Therefore it happened

    A scumbag murderer, a psychopathy has a very specific medical definition and I don't think it's particularly helpful here but tbh I don't care but it's just difficult to see all the learned discussion on the legal system when this semantic point is every other post.

    In America life would mean life or he'd be on death row, either way he wouldn't be coming out. That's the way is should be.

    I'm not a fan of the death penalty but certainly there should be full life terms like they have for certain cases in The UK.

    The point I was making but it seems you missed, was that the poster used the passive voice, saying "it happened" as if nobody was involved.
    My post said that the convicted person murdered the child, the crime was not something that just "happened".

    I think that someone that goes out to murder someone just so they can feel like they murdered someone fall into the category of people who should be kept out of society indefinitely. There aren't that many, less than 100? But they pose the greatest risk to society.

    Yes, all murder is wrong. But 'at least' the vast majority of murders can be explained to some degree, friends who fall out, money, drink, drugs, family ect. This case is straight from the Larry Murphy play book, to kill anybody for the sake of killing.

    A serious review is needed of the sentences handed down.
    The family must be feeling they've been royally screwed by the justice system that they lose their only son and the state allows the murderer with a life sentence to simply leave prison after promising to stay 8km away from the family.
    **** right off.

    Yes I was the poster and I was referring to the crime, meaning it. Not the person involved in IT(you see what I'm doing here?) I think it was you who missed the original point that started this
