True enough, and I can understand that. But I would say that the number of these case were proven guilty much later is probably much smaller than the number of scallies that come straight out of jail to re-offend.
As I said, I don't mean death straight away, it would only be for certain capital crimes and once all appeals etc had been processed and proved invalid. Guess there would always be the odd one that was complete unjust, but then again, you can't have an omelette without breaking eggs. The majority would probably outweight the odd case, no matter how unfortunate. I know this is harsh to that odd case, but what else happens......
Anyway, it will never come back. We live in a much too "pc" world now. I mean, here's the world where a burglar can break into my house (and lets face it, he didn't "trip" through my window), I can confront him, then when a struggle breaks out etc then he can have me charged for assault! I mean, FFS!!
