indeed, that's the interest in discussing it.

So, had he appeared to be sorry, would that change how he should be dealt with, do you think?

(I suppose we do already have that in a way, in that if you plead 'not guilty' and you're deemed guilty, that's seen as worse. And if you go for the 'guilty plea' you are accepting your responsibility to some extent and sometimes get a lesser sentence.)


Time can be a great healer as we all know, but to forgive a heinous crime such as this was, could be seen as having no compassion for the family that were left bereft after their loss.

The 'problem' today, due to the almost everyday occurrence of this type of murderous act, is the danger of accepting these crimes as 'normal' and part and parcel of everyday life and by doing so lessening their brutality and 'rewarding' the murderers with lesser sentences than they deserve.

Planned murder is planned murder and deserves the ultimate sentence in my book, so no, nothing would change my stance on this.

Sorry.
