the sooner we bring something in that excludes you from your human rights when you behave in an inhumane way the better.
that man (any many others) is still living and able to enjoy some form of comfort/enjoyment. the family carry the burden every day. its not justice and with the relative comfort we HAVE to afford these people in HMP.
I understand the sentiment - I have kids and I also don't believe sentences are long enough for serious crimes ... but... the thing about human rights is that you have them because you're human. That's the only qualification. You don't have to earn them and you can't have them taken away. It's that universal quality that makes them work as it means you don't have to trust someone to make a decision on who should have human rights or not.
The bloke should never walk free though - and we do have the laws to ensure that.
