What (as an examle) are the killers of young James Bulger up to now? After virtually butchering him they received, eventually, 15 years, of which they served 8. They were given new id's and probably lead a happy life now, oh, of course, they just hacked a toddler to pieces. If they had stolen a couple of mill they'd still be banged up, regarded as dangerous criminals.
Jeeze our justice system is a damned joke, all Huntley has to do is say "oh, sorry about that" and he'll be out as well.
What use is there in keeping Biggs inside, answer, Mr.Straw means business, YEAH !!
