No.  You really couldn't.  Because I believe releasing him was a smart political move.

I'm just not naive enough to think this was some "great act of justice"... when people in scotland are denied compassionate releases all the time who did much less.

It's clear from your last post you don't actually understand how compassionate releases work.  Not everyone who qualfieis for them gets them.

 

Usually anyone who kills someone else doesn't in fact.

in which case, they should review that element of the system, surely anyone in the same situation would get the same treatment by law.

Edit: infact, this would help reduce prison overcrowding a little, which is a majour problem in the UK, prison should be used to rehabilitate and make sure people are no longer a threat to society, once they are no longer a threat (especially if theyre gonna die anyway) surely it makes sense to release them, you can put someone who is a threat in that jail cell instead.
