Honestly, if this was one of the parole or Judges family members they probably would think different before letting these maggots free to kill someone else.
The POS that got 15 yrs he would have still been young enough to do it again
i agree if it was a family member or some one they are close to they would object to release these dangerous so called humans, very sad.
They make sure they aren't released near them or theirs.
Taking a life should mean lose yours! Weather death penalty or life in prison no parole
@@Kris-the-Hobbit 💯
This is why the death penalty should still exist. Found guilty/admitted guilt, DEATH, with no appeal. There is no way a parole board can ever release them to commit another crime
Absolutely this vermin should not be breathing the same air as normal human beings...
If the state kills a killer, the same amount of murderers exist in the world…
This is basic math.
exactly!
If you really think there should be no appeals in death penalty cases, please don't vote.
That argument might have held water were it not for corrupt police forcing confessions.
Stalking needs to be taken far more seriously as it's always a prelude to something worse. Don't make trespass orders so hard to get and arrest anyone breaching them. Vicious murders should never get out.
0000000000000
Totally agree. My sister is being stalked by her ex an it’s been happening for almost 5 years now. Police say the same thing each time, he hasn’t hurt you so we can’t do anything. She shouldn’t have to wait to be attacked before something is done.
If your mind is so broke that you would go that far... you've already kinda crossed that line right.
That will never happen. Police use the relaxed laws on stalking too much for their needs. Until public safety is a primary concern for police, they won't let that law change.
@@GedenWilbur Stalking isn't about a 'broken mind'. It's about power & control. Perfectly sane, perfectly logical men who are pillars of the community will stalk & harass a woman because they want power & control over her, & they believe they're entitled to access to the woman they're stalking.
In fact typical stalkers demonstrate their sanity: they're not out there stalking armed police officers or their male coworkers or male MMA fighters--they're stalking women, who are the easiest targets because as a society we don't take crimes against women seriously. Stalkers know they're unlikely to face serious consequences for their crime
So he gets out after only 12 years. If you smuggled marijuana in Indonesia you could be put to death. I don't get it.
Because you are comparing chalk with cheese. I want all drug dealers dead. I also want all murderers dead!
Two different countries, two different laws.
That's the point. Society & government CAN impose stricter laws. If they want to.
Omg red flag he sends you an article only 8 weeks into the relationship saying how he violently murdered his ex and you think yes he’s a keeper.
Yip - another sadly desperate woman.
Yip - another sadly violent man.
Janet seems like she was full of love and compassion. I can tell how very much her kids loved and miss her. I’m so sad for their loss.
Yes, indeed it's is. One cannot trust anyone. You never know if you're together with psychopathic killer!
Better to stay alone!
I don't understand how he could murder his wife and get 12 years? There is something seriously wrong in the whole UK justice system. How does a MURDERER get life but is out in 12 years....this is and was a tragedy. The fault is the UK justice system.
When a murderer kills more than one person each killing and victim deserves a full sentence. Each victim deserves to see the perpetrator receive a sentence for that action. Consecutive terms!
Recent child killing a partner (who enabled the child to be killed by the partner) and they got only 9 years...wtf.
IMO if you are a parent and enable the abuse (or even abuse too) automatic 25 year sentence. Child murderers and their enablers both need to pay for the murder. Innocent children are the most vulnerable and our future you kill or enable the killer both need to receive the same sentence.
I don’t understand it either. At minimum he should have gotten was life without parole.
There something inherently wrong with society if those if those who break the laws of that society, is treated with kidgloves. The elected and appointed officials All, it would appear, are much too forgiving of the criminal, at the cost of the safety of the law-abiding citizen. Are all justice systems working from the same script, because this lack of rigor from the justice systems are All the same. Even in my country, South Africa.
Why did they think that it was appropriate to release any of these creatures??!! They had all been convicted of first degree murder!!!
Probly cuz parole board believed their accounts that they found Jesus, got their GED and got sober from drugs and alcohol and also hadn't assaulted any inmates. Well there's no women in male prisons. I would be waiting for him when he got out
Welcome to Britain. No wonder this country has turned out like it has
There's no such thing as "first degree" murder in the UK. It is a term from the American legal system.
@@alexkerrigan5715as of 2023, crime is at its lowest ever levels
@zeddeka no
It’s happening here in the US too! It makes me so upset and angry. Many people seem to think that we need to be lenient and forgiving of murderers. I believe in the death penalty, an eye for an eye. Or, life in prison, no parole. Not for murder!
Exactly. A lot of death penalty opponents say, “these murderers will still be in prison”, but they’ll turn around and move the goalposts in a heartbeat. These people are threats to our justice system.
A lot more than the 100 in less time. Look up Eliza Fletcher's case of Memphis. Perp had a rap sheer since 11.
calm down
@@gailhonadle5182exactly had he got help at 11 a damn baby he wouldn’t be institutionalized calling a damn kid a perp is the problem
WTF? The advocate says we are not here to play the blame game, we're not going to say you did this wrong or you did that wrong. Why not? If individuals with responsibilities in a system are not held accountable, no system can be expected to work. Even if you "improve" the system, what level of confidence can you have in that system if the individual agents within that system are not held accountable?
It's time to sue "the system". 😡 They're more interested in spending money on crap 😡 Hold them liable.
Well said, Henri. The system doesn't work, and is far too soft on serious offenders.
Exactly
@@kateturner1849 To sue the system only costs the taxpayer. It's (sadly) not like any fines/costs are taken from their own pay-packet.
The advocate sounds a bit like she's trying to cover for specific people. I understand that it is human to make even egregious mistakes and to have bad habits, but when individuals own their errors and actually make positive changes, it inspires more confidence in individuals and systems. So many talk about systems as if they are not made up of people. And when something goes wrong they act as if it's a mechanical mishap rather than the actions or inactions of people with responsibilities.
Maybe the solution to all of this is to not let them out if they get a life sentence in the first place or to just give them a death sentence and the problem will be solved for good.
This is why you're not in charge of this problem.
@@baronmeduse and this why YOU are not in charge of this problem thank god
@@hallelujah7304 Although my view is the official view taken. Rather than a gaggle of simpletons baying for death on a UA-cam video.
Just because someone has a different view to your own doesn't make them a simpleton, if anything it says more about your own insecurities
@@clivewilson4678 that POS must be his brother
I had an air bnb host who had a career as a prison guard. She was convinced that nearly all of the prisoners are not capable of reformation.
My grandfather (dad’s dad) was a deputy sheriff until about a year ago and he started out as a prison guard. He also said very very few can be rehabilitated. He said even those were burglars, robbers, doctors who were dispensing drugs as a racket etc. He says no murderer can be rehabilitated. They are psychotic or sociopathic and you can’t fix that.
I agree.
My bus driver's brother is an eminent criminologist who's worked for the H.O and DSTD. He says most offenders are capable of rehabilitation if certain conditions are in place
I agree. They’re adults. They’ve already developed their personalities, their hate, their sense of entitlement and there’s no going back. I would argue that prison makes them more bitter and more dangerous. If you out an offender away for 20-25 years for murder, you think they come out like saints? They come out with addictions and anger management problems off the charts. Leave them there for their natural life and let the people who follow the rules and laws live in peace, without fear of these monsters.
When caught and facing punishment, they become sweet darlings and express remorse and regret. And that fools a lot of people.
It would not fool me. Off with their knackers!
I have so much admiration for the families and friends affected by this. Also plenty of respect for the lady from scotland who survived. The authorities should be ashamed .
She is fighting to change the law. One tough lady. I can remember the first murder that thing done. Same mo. His mother tried to help him escape. She was a social worker too.
Bless her bravery 🙏
When a convicted killer stalks, he should not get a warning. It should be game over. That should be enough proof that he will not reform.
I don’t understand why the UK has such short sentences, especially murder.
The government don't want to pay for the incarceration costs.
@@ashleylovestennis6476 or the government know SOME people do change.
@@whoarewe7515People who commit pre-meditated murder cannot change.
@@DaniHMcV how do you know they don't regret what they did?
It's disgusting how sex offenders, stalkers, child abusers and the like are always being given short sentences, as if money crime was worse than crime against women and children, and then released, only to reoffend.
I 'may' have had more time for the National Probation Spokesperson if they'd said "We deeply regret OUR failings which DIRECTLY LED TO the death of Mr Gogarty" Anything less is meaningless.
RIP Janet and John the only bright side to these Horrible stories was when I seen Linda had survived Godbless you Linda 🙏
That is so sad. I can't watch it to the end. I feel so sorry for the victims and their loved ones.
If people don't want capital punishment then just make life in prison to mean just that.
It would actually save a few more innocents being killed by released killers.
What went wrong is the parole board failed to do their job. Especially the probation officer who said he would not offend again. The probation officer should be fired and made to pay monetary to the family.
It makes me so mad that the justice system lets dangerous people out to kill again. Bring back the death penality, give life WITHOUT PAROLE! our system favours the criminals far more often than the victims. Judges need to be vetted far more deeply to see if they are competent to judge wisely in this frightening justice system.
"A life sentence of 20 years." That's not a life sentence.
its actually about 25% of an average life.
“Life sentence” needs to be just that: The rest of the perpetrator’s life. Anything less is a ghastly joke.
Typical of most legal systems. Conditions breached with no consequences prove that said conditions are a total joke
Despite everything the system doesn't change, they are probably still releasing dangerous criminals.
This is why there should be the death penalty for brutal murderers so that the same murderers are not released to kill again and claim more victims because a life sentence in reality does not mean life plus they should not benefit having free warm bed and three hot meals after murdering someone when others have to work hard to eat and have roof over their heads. The death penalty is not for revenge or as a deterrent but it’s to give justice for the victims and to stop them claiming more victims. Releasing brutal, crazed murderers into society is like releasing a dog with rabies into a marketplace. The people who released these murderers should be held accountable.
Why are murderers ever let out??? They should stay in prison for good! It’s offensive to the families who lost a loved one to one of these low lives when they are let out early in the first place! Life should mean life!
Religion is to blame for giving the idea that all should be forgiven. No one should be forgiven for anything. You should be punished to the max and then watched like a hawk for the rest of your life.
Unfortunately it does have to be a 'blame game" we simply cannot say it's "the system failed '. Certain individuals sit in meetings and discuss "risk management:' the trouble is the risks they take are not with the person they release into the community but with the people who live in that community
Love to those brave victims and families fighting to be heard and prevent more of these horrific events
Absolutely its a blame game. No other trade or profession would get away with failures on this scale.
Some people also stay strong on their political view of no punishment (which means less prison time)and more rehabilitation. When they become victims themselves, you'll notice how fast they change their minds about absolute Life in prison or the death penalty.
Sad but that article she read about him showed who he really is a KILLER. For crying out loud he killed his child mother; RUNNNNN would have been my advice RIP😪
i don't want to judge her, but the fact she was texting her kids constantly for everything, even when she learned he had been in prison for murder shows she emotionally dumped on her kids and she was codependent with them--a textbook target for psychopaths. An interdependent parent wouldn't even expose their kid to anything frightening like that and wouldn't seek advice from the kid for what decision to make about it and they would just stop dating the guy. But her kids were being parentified to be the adult instead of the adult being the parent, and she enmeshed her kids. that kind of parent is a sitting duck for abusers, murderers, etc because they are so codependent, and it also screws up the kids to repeat the behaviors of the parent and also have toxic romance. I wish the school systems would teach mandatory classes from high school to help kids learn about their attachment behaviors to prevent having multiple abusive partners like Janet did.
The people who make the decision to release a convicted murderer who then kills again should be charged with accessory to the murder. The parole officer who fails to return the murderer to prison even after receiving reports of his bad behaviour should also be charged as an accessory to the murder.
If this was done then they would stop releasing these murderers on a hunch that that that they might not reoffend. And all would be safer.
The lawyer s who get these people out should be charged as well
Nonsense, it is the prison board that determines release’s.
There always sorry afterwards, maybe it's time the head of organisation were charged
I'm generally surprised at the fairly light sentences in the UK..relative to the crime unfortunately I'm not surprised this happens. It happens all over unfortunately though
The UK has been lenient on sentencing since the 1960s.
@@savantianprince Yes. I guess coming from the US where you can get life or even the death penalty as a minor..you can image I'm looking at this like Wow....just wow
Parole boards in Europe need reevaluating if this keeps up. I live in the US and we ate tough on crime.
In some cases, people are rehabilitated, especially when they commit crimes as young people. In cases, unfortunately, there was no rehabilitation. Riep victims of monsters!
This is why capital punishment should be reinstated for the most serious and violent offenders who can't be reformed
It needs to be done fast and well known to the public, maybe one quick appeal then start the show 👍televise it live 🍺
Yeah if you can Kill babies why can't you kill criminals?
@@sA-ny2jl Your last sentence is a classic piece of self-unawareness. It was abolished because it failed in a civilised society.
I agree. Let's bring back public hangings. I recon that'd calm down repeat offenders. High noon .town Square.
@@baronmeduse It’s weird. You’d think that the more the death penalty was enforced, the lower the homicide rates would be. But it’s quite the opposite in the states. I would be interested to read up on why that is. Maybe population also plays a factor based on each state per capita?? Now I’m intrigued and need to investigate!
why is 15 years considered a life sentence? typically a life lasts 70-80 years now. why not have that be a life sentence?
What a tragic, tragic story... You did great covering it.
The Parole Board is not fit for purpose.
The parole board needs investigated for corruption
"Life" sentences with possibility of parole is an insult to everyone.
Ah yes…….compassion 🙄
It is happening here in the US. People hardly ever serve their sentences. Federal criminals have to serve 85% mandatory but not state criminals. Most don't even serve half their sentences. The problem is there are no services for these people either inside or out of jail. If there were services for mental health, housing, and health care they could find a better life but there is none of this and they struggle, sometimes they start returning to crime feeling like prison is not much worse than living on the streets with no prospects.
You are exactly correct. This is half the problem
I agree with you and you said it well. We're perpetuating the violence with American criminal justice.
Life should mean LIFE!
Time to start holding those on the parole board PERSONALLY responsible for letting those out who reoffend/murder!
If a person can stalk, you can be sure they will have no problem killing.
"Probably contributed" to the man's death??? Bring back the death penalty if you can't monitor the prisoners.
This a an example of 'The Cowards way out'
Im so sorry this happened to such a wonderful family
😟 much luv from Oz💕
Honestly Simon Mellors should just NEVER have been let out. Asking his parole officer if ‘he’d do it again’ is a ridiculous question so I’m not surprised the daughter got a ridiculous answer. 8 weeks into a relationship isn’t ’far gone’ and she should’ve RAN and her family should’ve been doing absolutely everything in their power to make sure she did.
And that is why Deathpenelty should be allowed
My deepest condolences to the victims' families and friends for their devastating losses. To lose family members to criminals who should've never been considered for parole in the first place is an excruciating level of needless torment. The parole/probation department members should be required to have some of these dangerous criminals move into their homes and live with their families...I'm sure no parole/probation members would agree to that but they expect unsuspecting communities (and the victims' families or the survivors of brutal crimes) to just accept the criminal's release without advance warning or a say in where that criminal lives. It's deeply unsettling that so many dangerous criminals can basically con their freedom from the parole board with the board knowing why that criminal was imprisoned;life sentences should mean life and getting time off for good behavior should only be considered after an inmate has served 99.99999% of their sentence. The victims didn't get a shot at having a full lifetime so why should these dangerous criminals be given a chance at freedom when they murdered innocent people? Here in the States, I'd like to see full accountability,including criminal charges and prison sentences,for ANY agency that fails to adequately protect the public from dangerous criminals if said criminal re-enters society then commits new violent crimes. Politicians love to rant and rage against a violent criminal who commits heinous acts yet won't provide adequate funding,including mental health services,to ensure the public's safety.
Totally agree.
We had a guy called Ernest wright released local to us after doing life for killing a man with a hammer and burning his remains . He was released from a life sentence and went on to shoot two men near me and executed one of them in cold blood with a sawn off. The system is fooooked up.
Government needs to stop this nonsense.
Why do authorities “take steps “ to make sure this doesn’t happen again?? They should have protected these ppl before it came to this if they don’t learn from this sadly it will happen again Those articles are monsters Those poor damaged families my heart goes out to them the young lad crying broke my heart 😢😢 we need to bring back hanging specially for these monsters
It seems that the UK has very weak sentencing laws for serious crimes. No one should ever have an option of parole for murder. It's generally a life sentence with no chance for parole in the US. Sometimes death depending on the State that the crime happens in.
Not always in the USA alot of serial killers were let out only to kill again.
Lots of prisoners are rehabilitated.
The Parole Board has blood on it's hands! Not once, not twice, not three times but ..............
Name & Shame the parole board members! That will stop it happening again!
When did the taxpayer start paying their employees (Justice Department) to get it WRONG!
A warning? Everyone should know that the most dangerous time is when the abused partner leaves. Geez! How lame was that probation officer?
These are not mistakes. they are deliberate decisions made by people, law makers who don't make laws for really egregious crimes sufficient, and law providers who choose not to let these kinds of criminals serve their full terms. 12 years, 20 years, whatever is not life, it is 12 years or 20 years or less. Life should be life. the victims and their families get life, the perpetrators get a slap on the wrist then get to walk free. To me, the decision makers are as culpable as the perpetrators.
Once a partner admits to killing a previous partner, you bloody get out of that relationship ASAP!
Unfortunately in this case, Simon is too manipulative and doesn't take rejection as a reasonable person would do.
Once a killer allways a killer,this is a very sad story!
When the devils in them he will always be in them
a life sentence should be for life, not some airy fairy maybe you will be out next year
UK has notorious problems with prisoners. Their sentences are light and rehabilitation is devoid of results.
Imagine getting out of prison on day leave and attacking this woman five days later....What that monster did at 15 says alot about this kid....noo he has that killer instinct in him
Those poor kids that remain without their mom, I feel so sorry for them.
I often wonder why the powers that be release certain people. It is even more baffling when the criminals didn't even give reason for them to have confidence. There are people who committed violent crimes, didn't think about the full consequences to anyone, but later learned valuable things, developed deeper and more meaningful human connections giving way to remorse, empathy, and rehabilitation. I understand that the one was 15, but he didn't just follow the wrong crowd, get caught up in something dangerously idiotic, go into something without thinking, etc. He beat to death an innocent stranger who was just minding her own business. Did he say or do anything that was even remotely convincing to the board, or did they just do what was more convenient for themselves? There are so many stories in which violent criminals get released without any words of reassurance to the public, nothing to suggest remorse or rehabilitation.
That is one of very little things that America does right. If you commit murder there you'll be leaving prison in a box. We need this in the UK.
those disrespectfull murderers! how dare they kill even after asked to nto kill anymore!
That poor guy has a nack for picking real losers.
Nothing to do with her murder, but honest to god, the first woman 4 marriages and still determined to find a man. Her kids must have despaired of her
When a mad dog bites you put it down so it can not do it again. Why do people think humans will change?
Damn this guy is identical to my ex. I'm lucky I got out. I had to cancel my life ins policy asap and let him know I did to take away his motive. I also moved couple thousand miles away for a year. I'm back as I missed my kids too much. I'm not stupid or reckless but I choose not to live in fear. I have to see him Friday for my daughters graduation. My brother is so amazing helping me get right in my head for it. It's all about my daughter and nobody else 💜
Unfortunately not much can be done if an offender is able to convince a parole board they can be trusted to live in community. That's the case in particular with Janet Scott's killer. More should definitely have been post the stalking behaviour but I don't know what would've stopped her being attacked. Short of locking him up, but that's not an indefinite sentence - and once out, he'll go after her with vigour.
Not knowing British laws I don't know how they should've (could've) handled this, but in the US he could've been arrested for parole violations and returned to prison to serve out his time even before getting more charges.
@@indy_go_blue6048 which will only keep him in jail for so long. Eventually he has to be released. Parole violations are misdemeanours, not felonies.
Given the violence of the first murder in the US he would've been given life - again. However the US is the only country where life means precisely that. In the UK & Australia life generally equates to 20 years. Maximum. Then time gets taken off for good behaviour.
Unless the judge sentences you "for the term of your natural life" or states your papers to be stamped "never to be released". That does happen - the killers of Anita Cobby here in Australia drew "term of their natural life" sentences because of the vicious & violent nature of their crime. I'd like to see a legal system that more fully examines the circumstances of the crime when it comes to sentencing decisions.
Vicious killers should be euthanized not rewarded with free room and board for life or possibility of parole.
we should re-introduce death penalty to make sure a murderer is no more a danger to others
8-9 weeks into a relationship is not an attachment in my opinion. Instinct says run as fast as you can in the other direction!
I feel for the young adults in the first story! Having their own lives to deal with,and that of the mothers who was continually texting them about her own dramas.😮.
I believe that when this happens, the entire system of people who made it possible should also get life in prison as accomplices to murder. They allowed it to happen so they should have to pay with their lives as well. Maybe once that is on the line they won’t be so willy nilly about letting these murderers back into society
Two simple answers.1) Bring back the death penalty for clear cut murder cases where there is absolutely no doubt the person is guilty .2) Life should mean life and no minimum term should be considered.
and remove the testicles of the rapists
spot on, if guilty of murder beyond reasonable doubt, .death penalty seems only deterrent.
Failing after failing after failing. The justice system in the uk has a lot to answer for in Janets casee
i hope the family send the parole board a christamas card every year with a photo of their smiling mother saying merry xmas thanks for letting mellors out after his first murder conviction to murder our mother PS i hope you never sleep and have nightmares every night thinking of our mothers face
I still don't understand why these monsters are not kept in prison for life and put them to work to force them to be productive members of society, like we all are.
There's millions of pounds,dollars, pesos and whatever you can bring up to the plate, wasted on keeping these creatures in prison and in the end it is why they are freed; they cost too much money since there's no way we can make them pay for their expenses.
These criminals can easily support the whole system if we put them to work, there's too many of them after all.
I can think, out of the top my head, about a hundred (if no thousands) of different activities where we can put these people to do something better than becoming better criminals.
They can learn how to make a living without resorting to crime and the whole society will be better because when they live prison they would know that there is a better way; full circle and everybody will be safe.
What to do with the "no so good ones"? Keep them "indoors"(working for their benefits) and once again everybody would be safe and happy. I do know many different ways to put them to work without resorting to torture, I'm a decent folk ,believe me
I came out with this realization without even finishing grade 8, why people who go to colleges and universities can even think about something so simply?
From Toronto my heart goes out to all the victims of this crazy politically correct way of life.
This has strongly made me believe that murdering scum should be sentenced to death. Evil people will always be evil & a danger to society - so why should they be here taking up space? What’s their purpose?
Hang on how the hell can that woman sit there and say this is not a blame game??! Of course, it's a freaking Blame game!! The people to blame are the Prison system and the Parole Board!! end of conversation!! If that woman sat there infront of me and said that id smack her in the mouth!!
I agree , those people who let those people out and did not do their jobs are to blame as are parole officers who do not do their jobs.
life should mean life ,its time this country toughened up
The sentences are a joke to begin with. TWELVE years?
Literally NO point to life sentencing that can mean any number of months/years whoever looking over the case feels like on that particular day...? They should stop calling these sentences 'life' out of respect for basic logic 🙄
If you kill someone, you should never be free again. The safety of the public is more important than a crap shoot letting a killer back into society.
My heart breaks for the families and children left behind and with endless questions! We need a serious overhaul of the police to the justice system as a whole. Shocking in this day and age
I burst into tears when they panned over to Linda!
its the same every where, the parole board should be changed all the time, they are bored and don't really care till something happens , then they say ,,we didn't realize
I’m so sorry for your loss, my Condolences to you and your family.
Can the family sue the probation board for not watching him? I would think they would sue!
You get convicted of murder , then you don't deserve to breath fresh air ever again . How on earth any of these so called professional probation officers can live with the guilt of releasing these animals , is beyond me .
Every single time a mistake is made , then the person who signs the rease papers should be made to explain their decision .
I hate to admit it , because it's not in my nature , but if I found out my mum, dad or brother had been killed by an offender , who has been let out on licence for a previous offence , I might very well end up in court myself for removing someone from the gene pool.
To all the victims, I offer condolences. Its horrible that this was 2 years ago and just this week Starmer has early released 1700 prisoners. They just dont want to change anything do they?
NO ONE can be freed from a LIFE sentence, except by the appeal courts.He is still serving a life sentence, just not in prison.
Maybe change the lock should have been the first thing you did?
Speaking especially for the first part, a lovely lady loses her life and her kids a mother! Because the lawmakers can't understand a former murderer, does not belong on the street again, actually they are playing Pontius pilate ! In my opinion a murderer should get the death penalty , or at last life in prison without parole and is living prison only in a casket, because of old age...
Using taxpayers money, so he can enjoy prison at its finest (it's not a dungeon anymore) and after a few years he is a free man/woman again it's plain speaking nonsense, and if something happens again, especially, like in this case the parole bord, plays stupid like usual 😉! Definitely the death penalty doesn't stop murderer killing people, but at last it's one dirtbag less in our society, and the family of his victim/s find peace again! On top Taxpayers money can be used for better purposes, like Healthcare, Education, Pensions, and a lot, lot more...
Also why are they on death row so long it's the lawyers or liars
Of course they failed in releasing any of these murderers. Who cares if they did an evaluation or not. Murderers will not want to make a mistake in what they say to be able to be released. They want out to be able to do what they enjoy and that is killing innocent people. Anyone who agrees that they should be released should also be charged with assisting in the murder of any future victims. Maybe if they too are charged with enabling the release of a murderer they would reconsider saying that they are safe to be released.
If most criminals 're offend then why would killers be any different??
