When the justice system is 100 percent bullet proof, the I would agree wholeheartedly......however, we have seen in the steven lawrence case that the justice system can be re-engineered to please whatever politically correct nonsense is the catchphrase of the day!
The reality is with murder, that in current law, even if one of our kids were just with a group of people and one of that group stabs someone, then our kids would be just as guilty and get hung!........no sorry, the modern political class cannot be trusted with life or death decisions no matter what the crime is.....
