Not really unfortunate.

When the police got away with beating confessions out of innocent people, or faking confessions, it led to the real murderers getting away with it, and led to incompetent detectives getting promoted (and failing to catch, for example the Yorkshire Ripper) thanks to their apparent clear-up rate.
Who mentioned beatings m'lud. ?

Cashman (?) got 42 years

So the taxpayer has to pay to
Keep this scum bag in prison for 42 years (plus)
 
I hope he ******* rots in hell.
I'll no doubt go to my grave long before he is ever considered for release but I feel somewhat happy that I will never be around to see his release or death. I would have preferred the death penalty but I guess I am old school and not suited to this life of human rights. C'est la vie.

Not so much human rights as human error
 
42 years minimum. Didn't go to court for his sentencing - since when has that been allowed?


From Peter Hitchens:

The Assistant Chief Constable of Merseyside, Chris Green, has said that abusers of illegal drugs are responsible for the vast snakepit of drug-related crime which led to the unbearable death of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel. He said

‘There’s a strong message, if those individuals who at the weekend are partying out in clubs or socialising in houses think they’re not doing any harm by having a line of cocaine or doing whatever they want to do … Everyone involved in the chain is responsible. That is the reality. If there wasn’t demand, there wouldn’t be supply.’


And he is dead right. But perhaps he’d care to say how his force, or indeed any UK police force, has been treating the crime of drug possession. As I understand it, they have been turning a blind eye to it for about 30 years.........
In which case the police too are involved in the chain.

Have you got a reference for this article, please?
It's not possible to decipher who said what, from your post. I'm pretty sure that the Assistant Cheif Constablke did not suggest that the police were involved in the chain. Was that peter Hitchens comment, or yours?
Reference please. I can't find any trace via google.
What your after is the last topic in this piece.
 
If someone is convicted, they should essentially be forced to attend the sentencing and, if it's the wish of the family, be forced to look them in the eye if they (the family) have statements to read out.

As for the sentence, yes 42 years is of course a decent length, however it should have been life with no parole.

I'll say it again, we p1ss enough £££ down the drain in this country on wasted initiatives and strategies. Why not invest a few billion in more prisons, properly staffed, and lock people up for life in the case of heinous crimes, and longer for lesser crimes.
 
You can't force anybody to attend their sentencing. If forced, they could just stand there screaming obscenities at all and sundry and the judge would order them to be taken away.
