Brianna Ghey's killers given life sentences for brutal murder
Scarlett Jenkinson had a "deep desire to kill" and Eddie Ratcliffe was partly driven by his transphobia.
22 and 20 years, not sure where "life sentences" came from
UK law is different
They'll be on parole for life if released after the minimum sentence and there's no guarantee they get released after the minimum sentence but the burden of proof would then be on them still being a risk, there's a handful of prisoners (maybe most famously Charles Bronson) who never get released
In the UK we have minimum terms. Basically the life sentence stands and if released on parole (after the minimum term) then they will be on licence which means they can be returned to prison at any time if it is believed they present a danger in general or break the terms of their licence, without trial.
We do have whole life terms but they are reserved for the most serious murders, such as serial killers
Well that was a depressing read. My heart goes out to all of the families.
driven by his transphobia, eh?
thank goodness he lived in the uk where the media, both major political parties, and a certain authorwerent also driven by transphobia.... cause that would be bad
killers dont deserve privacy
These particular killers seem to want the fame/infamy. Keeping them anonymous is actually a worse punishment for them.
