I bet you thought Myra Hinckley should have been released.
Why do you think that? It's a totally different case, since I earlier said about the difference between a case like this and one where violence was committed on random members of the public. And again, it would all come down to the parole board determining if they weren't a threat anymore. So no, it's a bit silly to say i'd carte blanched think hindley should be released, just as i'm not saying that in this case either.
I think some crimes (involving murder) are serious enough that attempting rehabilitation shouldn't matter, the person should simply never be let out as a result of what they have done.
I am assuming, but I would think I could show plenty of murderers that didn't kill again after being released and even turned their lIves around. And again, to completely dismiss any genuine chance of rehabilitation is not something that sits comfortably with me.
It isn't possible to rehabilitate a psychopath.
If justice was based on pure logic then they wouldn't be allowed out. It's with emotion that you think a psychopath can be redeemed.
How are you going to convince this woman that what she did was wrong? Do you think she didn't know it was wrong before?
For regular people it is difficult for us to understand evil, and when we do we try to rationalise it. I used to think when we were born that we all started from the same mind set and just went different ways through life experience. But some people are born selfish narcissists.
Not all psychopaths are evil murderers that need rehabilitation (a lot of them are successful businessmen
) and I'm not saying psycopaths can be rehabilitated, but I'm not against her having the ability to parole after what is a long sentence in prison. If she's a psycopath, and shows no rehabilitation, then I'm perfectly comfortable with her spending life behind bars
