I agree with you (for once
)
As I've said, the problem is that, without overhauling the entire legal system, nothing can or will change.
You know from previous discussions that I believe that, regardless of the crime, once your sentence has been served, you should be released, and this includes
all criminals. Now, the severity of Hoares crimes raise a question about his sentencing in the first place, although that is a different topic entirely.
Unfortunately, I personally feel that this woman was misguided in pushing for compensation after the time limit. Equally unfortunately, a convicted rapist won several million pounds on the lottery. I'm not saying that I agree with it, just that I understand how it happens.
