Manchester Bombing *** Please remain respectful and refrain from antagonising posts ***

The fact of him not wanting to leave his cell made me think the other day - I wondered if there has ever been a scientific study into what sort of mental toll it brings on the mind if you have someone live in a prison cell indefinitely without going outside at any point?

A great deal; hopefully :)
 
There was something on the news last night about the issues with just giving him a whole life sentence

The judge confirmed that Hashem Abedi cannot be handed a whole life sentence because he was under the age of 21 at the time of the offences.

However, he could be given multiple life sentences with a minimum starting point of 30 years.

Good that he's set the minimum at 55years

If anything it probably highlights the point that the age needs to be dropped to 18.

If you're old enough at that point to drink, smoke, purchase a knife etc, then you're old enough to accept responsibility for your actions.

Otherwise we may as well just re-classify the age at which you become an adult to 21, including raising the drinking age etc. Which would mean anyone of the age of 18/19/20 would still be classed as a child.
 
Wow the courts really used their powers for once. **** this guy...55 years is an amazing sentence for the scumbag. I was thinking 10 years tops but man they weren't pulling any punches here.

I think this is a great precedent for those involved in this type of crime, those that do not personally carry out the act but the involvement alone is enough to lock you away for basically life.

Surely that a record sentence over here haven't seen that many years before tbh didn't think it was possible?

They'd normally give a whole life order, but being under 21 when the crime occurred it they can't apply one in this case. So pick a really large number. He's basically in prison until he's nearly 80. That'll stop him murdering and maiming innocent children again.
 
Lol are everyone happy about the prison sentence.. Our prisons are full of these loons, I'm sure he will have fun converting small time criminals to the similar paths.

Also, if putting him in prison was a good outcome (which it's not) how is 55 years worth the lives of the 22 innocents he ended (many of them children and not to mention the hundred injured). One of the little girls killed lived around the corner from me and I live in a tiny village in the North.
