Todays serious thread issue,your views? _________________ I AM HAPPY TO JOIN WITH YOU TODAY IN WHAT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE GREATEST DEMONSTRATION FOR FREEDOM IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION(THE I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH,1963, MARTIN LUTHER KING)
£10K guaranteed, could get double, this piece of filth should not even be alive to get his throat cut by some drug addict low life. The law is incompetent when it does this, it should be like Monopoly "Go straight to jail, do not collect £200" Any compensation for this evil gobworm should be given straight to the families of the girls he murdered. _________________ WE ARE NOT STRANGERS, JUST FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET.
why should someone who has perpetrated a violent crime be "fair game" for another violent person?
I cannot in allhonesty believe that people would restore hanging or capital punshment, so incarceration of serious offenders is the answer. At that stage they have to be given some protection.
ompensation, big deal, he can hardly go out and spend it can he? He has been the victim of a criminal assault and has to be treated as such for this incident. _________________ Geordie_R

Don't think that was said.
I believe in Capital Punishment, as long as the crime was proved beyond all reasonable doubt.
I read that he would be entitled to an extra £50 per week to spend. _________________ WE ARE NOT STRANGERS, JUST FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET.
Although in general I'm with Geordie on this one. I'm passionately against the death penalty for various reasons I won't go into as this thread is about Huntley, I have to say were Huntley killed by another inmate I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. One less scumbag in the world and the scumbag that killed him would probably never be let out of jail(they've obviously done something to be in there and now they would have a murder charge to go with whatever it was originally). 2 less scumbags for the public to deal with.
I think the most important question here is how the hell did an inmate get hold of a dangerous weapon _________________ You're born with nothing, and better off that way,
As soon as you got something they send someone to try & take it away!
As long as you ule out capital punishment, then you have to give prisoners protection from each other etc.
As soon as anyone is convicted, they have had the crom proved against them 2beyond reasonable doubt" in the monds of the jury. Birmingham 6, Guildford 4, Maguires, Derek Bentley, James Hanratty, the list of why this is a bad idea is endless. Some innocent people would have been killed judicially and some innocent people were.
Jimbob's question is interesting. The assault apparantly took place by using a sharpened pen. One leading member of the Prison Officers' Assocaition said on the radio yesterday that you can't prevent people making something which can be used as a weapon and they rely on information, vigilance and regular searches. I suspect Huntley's assailant will now be charged either with ABH or GBH more likely than attempted murder but you never know. He will have lost his prospects of parole (if he had any) and has probalby added 5 years to his sentence.
As for Huntley's £50 a week, what will he spend it on? _________________ Geordie_R
