To think it's awful PC Harper's killers will be let out early.
As if it isn't hard enough for his wife and his family that it happened, now they face all this early release. How cruel. How absolutely cruel can life be?🤢

What a rotten justice system we have.
Petitions are going round, but they shouldn't have to?
What's the betting the offenders will just carry on the same way as before when released anyway?
How can anyone in their right mind think it's acceptable?🤔😮

I understand that they will be. Hmmmm. Perhaps someone can confirm

@Smartiepants79 is correct. They are among the categories of prisoners who could be released. It does not mean that they will be.

I would have thought it’s extremely unlikely that it will actually happen. They’ve not actually been approved for release. They are part of a group of offenders who can be considered for early release. Given the high profile of this case I’d be very surprised if it happened.
I may be wrong and I may have misunderstood it but this is my understanding.
