Wow. +1.

But he mustn't be so oh-oh-oh.

Yeah, and Sirhan Sirhan is eligible for parole as well. He's been so since day one of his sentence.

It's only Asinine if they actually let this guy out.

Reginald Wilson, 42, killed the doctor with 17 hammer blows to the head after tricking his way into his home.

Bangers and mash.

Hammer killer could be freed soon after judge revokes 'whole life' tariff

Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
who killed the hammer?
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
who killed the hammer?

Lawyers for Wilson said in the application to overturn the whole-life tariff that at the time there had been medical evidence showing that he suffered from an "untreatable psychopathic disorder".

Yeah, that sounds like a good reason to let him out.

Must have painted some good testimonial pictures.

/oh oh oh ohhh

I thought doctors just regenerated when you killed them.

See? its not his fault. Also I've always thought if I were to do something like this I'd have a steel mallet in the right hand and a meat cleaver in the left. He came pretty close though.

The judge isn't letting him out, he is letting him apply for parole. He is still on a life sentance, so he can still die of old age still in jail, that is up to the parole hearings he has. As the judge alluded to, it was a fairly nasty murder, but there are lots of those that don't get whole life tariffs. The guy got a WLT purely because the Home Secretary got involved because of media attention around the case, which isn't exactly a good way to decide sentancing.

Now of course, if you want to complain that the lack of prison places in the UK is leading to unacceptable pressure on the parole system to let out more people than they should, and that this is risking creating more avoidable victims of crime, I won't argue that point, but the law should be as consistent as possible, and not bow down to pressure from media organisations to pump up sentance lengths on the particular cases they happen to take interest in.

I think writing *snerk* fifty times "I must not be so" would be punishment enough.

Anyone else get creeped out by that song? Paul is supposed to be the happy-go-lucky one and then there's Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It's got the upbeat, happy tune, but the lyrics are so dark.

Well releasing murderers is one way to keep the incarceration rates lower than America's. China's method works too.

Actual startled laughter from that line. +1

Probably is, but not to me.

"Do you know what it takes to kill a human being, Mr. Weathers? Oh, I'm not talking about two brutes bashing each other's brains in out of some primitive passion. I'm talking about the kind of detachment that allows a man to take an ordinary hammer, and with clinical precision, split the skull, revealing the medulla. And the while the victim remains alive...even aware. I'm talking about the kind of act that can only be performed by a man who has absolute clarity of mind. Such a man is to be admired...revered. And much feared. But if you think I am such a man, then you are greatly mistaken. Oh, I simply tell you this so you know the kind of man you're looking for..."

If it's not his fault and it's not treatable, it's more important to keep him locked up, not less.

Sorry. Fubar html.

Nice headline. But I hate that song.

He never dunnit! He only said he dunnit so they'd take the rat out of his anus!

Very well done subby I laughed out loud or lol as the hip kids say

lotustuned: Hosebeatings: What ever happened to "the Queen's/King's pleasure" or "as it pleases the Queen/King" as a sentence?

Parliament.

It still applies for young offenders who would otherwise face life imprisonment(p) and in cases where the usual tariff is felt to be insufficient, but, yes, it is decided by the Home Secretary, rather than the Queen.

No way, we need these people out there killing. We just need to educate them properly so they'll kill undesirables instead of doctors.

Justice Tugendhat said: "It is right that Hutchinson should remain in prison for the rest of his life by way of punishment.

If this sentence had been at the beginning rather than the end, the whole article would be way less sensationalised. The Times used to be "the paper of record." fark that scum-sucking whoremonger Rupert Murdoch for destroying a reputation for quality reporting that lasted 200 years.

Bonus points for including the "snerk."

I just got a CD copy of Abbey Road this past week.

Best headline of the day.
