    Most people who get a "life sentence" for murder, the term is usually 7 years here in Ireland.

    [/QUOTE]

    Thats just not true, life sentence means no fixed release date, 7 years is the absoloute minimum.

    She bears a strange resemblance to Bitch of Buchenwald Ilse Koch.
    I guess the lesson is watch out for women that look like this.

    If she didn't hire the killers to carry out the deed her husband would not have been killed. He lost his most precious possession his life, she just lost her freedom.

    Still comes back to she served 18 years when as i said most only get 7 years for murder

    Dont forget she didnt kill him herself.

    That doesn't matter. She was convicted of murder and rightfully so. It doesn't matter that she contracted it out to someone else, she premeditated it.

    Is it okay that the person or persons who actually pulled the trigger and killed Tom Nevin walk away scot free ?

    It's not, pity Nevin couldn't see it in herself to say who they were. At least one less scumbag that was involved in her husband's murder.....

    Of course not. Ideally they also would be behind bars. In cases like this, both the hitman and the one who hired them are convicted. They just don't know who carried out the hit. Catherine Nevin could have told them who the hitman was but of course, she was intent on getting off.

    I know, right? It was a high profile case, my mother recognised her. Such is life. Maybe if she, ya know, hadn’t arranged to have her husband killed, people wouldn’t be noticing her.

    This is what I don’t get about the justice system, the criminals are taken care of better than the victims and the families of victims. They were talking about shaming people by putting up a list on a gov.ie website of non compliant tv license payers. Yet they go above and beyond to protect, relocate and defend rapists, Murders and serious white collar rip off con artists. It’s absolutely sick.

    It's like how they used to tell you that buying pirate tapes or cds you were supporting international terrorism.
    If there were no scheming black widows then there would be no professional hit men.

    Average time served for a Life sentence in Ireland is 22 years. Are you sure you're not mixing up murder with a lighter offence such as manslaughter. Ordering a murder is treated the same as pulling the trigger.

    Depending on the case The State also has the right to hold the convicted person forever. Parole is not a guarantee .

    BS she had years to divulge her "secrets" she wouldn't even give up the names of the people she hired to kill her husband.

    Even in that hypothetical - it's hard to imagine any jury in this country acquitting him in a retrial. The Judge will warn them to disregard their previous knowledge of the case etc but Juries decide based on their feelings and opinions, not legal points.

    But you said most get 7 years and thats just not true, 7 years is the absoloute minimum you can serve before getting a chance at parole most get much longer its at the discretion of minister of justice.

    She had a mad hatred of ''the English'' according to an IT article, what did they ever do to her? It's a bit like the way some English go on about ''the French'' whom they've hardly ever met or interacted with.

    Tom Nevin was originally from around where I live, it's sad that he was a decent man who worked hard and made a good life for himself and ended up like he did married to that yoke who only wanted his money.
