Looks like John Dougal will not be freed after all then after a public outcry

Pity those people don't channel their efforts into career criminals who get day and Christmas release.

Quite right that he has had to stay in jail anyone thinking otherwise try reading the link above especially what Hayley's mother has to say about it.

Good news for everyone. I can bet money he's not very happy about it.

Someone will have to sit down with him in his cell and comfort him till he cheers up a bit.

So someone who is absolutely no risk to the public gets harsher treatment than career criminals some of whom will almost certainly have killed people. That's fairness for you.



Hopefully whoever decided this in the probation service gets their house robbed by someone on day release.

Yes, what we really need in this society is to throw away courts, judges, and the probation service and just leave people in the hands of the victims' families.

You sound really bitter Derek. it's not about whether someone is a risk to the public. it's about justice to all concerned.
what you did was a bad thing. I give you 3 years punishment to fit the crime and as payment for the victims of your crime.

do you want to go home for Xmas. you've been a good boy in the few days you've been here so I think you deserve it. I think you've suffered enough.

Hopefully whoever decided this in the probation service gets their house robbed by someone on day release.

Let's hope nobody is hoping the man gets a punch on his nose on the day of his release too

I take it that you never read what Hayley's mother thought about it then in the link above so I have provided an extract below.

The victim's family should take precedence over the killer every time.

Hayley’s mam, Yvonne Adamson, said: “When the probation service told me that he would be released it was like getting a kick in the stomach. I felt physically sick.


“He brought shame on Northumbria police and disgraced his family by claiming he was innocent. He had no control over that car.


“I am just so pleased they changed their mind but at the same time it shouldn’t have been allowed in the first place.


“It is just so hard to cope with. Every day is like a nightmare.�


Christmas was cancelled in the Adamson home this year, Yvonne did not decorate it or put any Christmas cards up.

Try reading the rest of this article and stop feeling sorry for a ******* who tried to lie his way out because he knew that he had done wrong.

The hypocrisy on this thread is astounding.

We have both said that he was rightly convicted and this decision to keep him in jail is the right one.

All this is about is people feeling sorry that a policeman was jailed for supposedly doing his job correctly, a policemans job does not entail killing people and then lying to try and wriggle out of his responsibility as a human being.

All of you that think he was wrongly convicted just click on this link and read what Hayley's mother has to say and feel compassion for the true victim's here not the convicted killer.

If you still feel as strongly about the jailed policeman after reading it then I truly pity you as you have no compassion for the victim.

I'm sure that's only because it's somebody elses daughter, and not their own

THey should be able to comprehend what this man has done and how wrong it was and why therefore he deserved to be jailed.

Many people in this thread say that they would feel different when asked what would you want to happen if she was your daughter.

But because she is not their daughter they then continue to say that he should not have been jailed and try to give supposedly valid reasons why he can drive around with scant disregard for public safety at a ridiculous speed on a ordinary road.

They really need to get real as no one has the right to kill because they want the kudos of an arrest.

He killed and was found rightfully guilty in a court of law and duly sentenced to 3 years.
