As for book deals and the like, I thought that nobody was supposed to be able to profit from crime. Is it no illegal to be able to sell a book, or even a story to the newspapers if it is based on what he did?
Presumably though he should now be ignored and banished from public life rather than celebrated, much in the same way that Gary Glitter is no longer welcome.

As far as I know he cannot write about his experiences at the trial or in prison but can probably write his autobiography as long as he doesn't use/ include the crime to publicise it or increase it's sales. It's a grey area but he wouldn't be the first criminal to spend an inordinate amount of time in the papers after being released.
I'd rather they punished the guilty with sentencing that would prove a deterant and stop this BS of letting them out early for good behaviour. It's not as though they should have a choice of wether to behave or not inside but then they probably spend a lot of time arguing over what tv channel to watch or what they want for dinner
