That's my point! If they served life for taking a life, they wouldn't need protection & more importantly they would be out of the society that they obviously don't want to conform too!. I would rather my money went to keeping them incarcerated than to come out with the chance even if it was a slim one of repeating this horrific crime.if you read back you have the opinion of an ex prison warden, perhaps if the do gooders listened to them they might get a clearer view of these offenders, I'm fed up of people saying ," oh poor boy he's only 15yrs old" he was old enough to think about murdering , boasting & carrying it out to its full horrific conclusion. No compassion was shown to his innocent victim. & none should be shown to him. & at the risk of repeating myself, perhaps instead of people running to his defence, they should direct it towards his victim & the children who had to witness this poor boys actions!!.
If it's found that he's criminally insane, he should be prison hospitalised for life, if he is found to be of sound mind then I for one don't want this object let out on the streets after a few years!!.
