I stumbled upon this today in WOL. It relates to an horrific murder in the 90s of a doctor by a psychopath. He was set to be released but for once. Thanks to David Lammy, he’s going nowhere.
Two things here:
1. How on earth was his sentence reduced upon appeal? This should have been whole life with no chance of release.
2. How can a Parole Board sign off his release when he was diagnosed as having untreatable psychosis?
I appreciate a lot of work goes into this, much more than the media can print but on face value this guy shouldn’t even be considered for release. Ever. He’d be one wrong look from another massacre!
If by that you mean life should mean life then I totally agree.
But this is a specific case where the PB shouldn’t even think about release. People like him are a hair’s breadth away from doing it all over again. Especially since the medical verdict was that his psychosis is untreatable.

A psychopath in prison can play a long game charming and convincing over time that they've changed, only to reoffend upon release.
Hanging the scumbag in 1991 would have been a simpler and more cost-effective solution.
