Just look at all the vile monsters convicted in this country and out roaming the streets again. Larry Murphy springs to mind (granted a lazy example, but ya get the idea) And anyways a "life sentence" in Ireland is a set amount of years because its "unconstitutional" and "inhuman" to lock someone up and throw away the keys.

JC01 wrote: » The average time served is 12 years???
JC01 wrote: » Yes but 35+ years is the exception rather than the rule which is the crazy part. Life should mean life no exceptions no ifs ands or buts. From citizens information: Prisoners serving very long sentences (including life sentences), are normally reviewed on a number of occasions over a number of years before any substantial concessions would be recommended by the Board. The final decision as to whether a life sentenced prisoner is released, rests solely with the Minister. The length of time spent in custody by offenders serving life sentences can vary substantially. Of those prisoners serving life sentences who have been released, the average sentence served in prison is approximately 12 years. This, however, is only an average; there are prisoners serving life sentences in Ireland who have spent in excess of thirty years in custody. The average time served is 12 years???

A man who would shoot dead an innocent person for some silly perceived slight forfeits his right to be treated with the kid gloves the law would say defendants should be treated with.

He was arrested in Portlaoise after being caught having sex with two 15 year olds. But he claims they were up for it and he didn't rape them. The cops has to escort him out through an enraged mob in the housing estate afterwards. He has been locked up half of his life and admitted making regular trips back home to Limerick and usually 'borrowed' a car to drive back to Portlaoise. He is hardly a reliable witness is he?
