No justice for the injured party in this country

A former US marine who murdered a policeman has won an appeal against his "whole life" prison sentence.

David Bieber shot Pc Ian Broadhurst in the head at point blank range in Leeds on Boxing Day 2003, despite the officer pleading for his life.

The Court of Appeal said that the facts of Bieber's case, "horrifying though they were", did not justify a "life means life" sentence.

what would mean a life means life then?

I think you are showing a lack of empathy with the perpetrator's feelings. He did not have a Teddy Bear when he was small you know.

Your next contract is with Brighton Council - teach you the error of your ways.

Lord Phillips, sitting with Mr Justice Pitchford and Mrs Justice Dobbs, said Bieber's lawyers had argued that an irreducible life sentence, with no prospect of release and regardless of any progress made by the prisoner towards rehabilitation, amounted to inhuman treatment.

It doesn't !! The average murderer serves 6 years. We need murderers on the streets to keep the population down.

Back in the early sixties, when abolition of the death sentence was being debated, the abolitionists were forever burbling on about "life meaning life" in relation to prison sentences.

So much for that BS.
