How long would you give someone for murder?

[Porla]

A) pre meditated
B) heat of the moment
C) manslaughter/accidental

Would you change your sentence if it involved a child or otherwise vulnerable person?

I’ve been thinking a lot about sentencing guidelines recently. The thread the other day about David McGeary seemed to show such a strong support for never realising someone like him who committed such an awful crime. Then today I was reading that Rosdeep Adekoya is out on day release getting ready for full release and it seems like only yesterday she was sentenced.

Shouldn’t the sentencing guidelines of a country loosely follow the general feeling of its citizens? If the vast majority feel like murderers don’t serve enough time, shouldn’t guidelines be changed to reflect that?

I think there are far too many variables to give a blanket answer. I believe rehabilituon is better suited to petty criminals not murderers, and I believe the sentence should reflect their danger to society. Some people, serial killers and child killers for example, are evil and should never be released. They can not be rehabilitated and are never not a danger to society.

I don’t believe in the death penalty (although there are some cases where I secretly hope they get murdered in prison) but I do think sex offenders and pedos should be castrated.

pre meditated murder I think should definitely get rest of your life in prison imo. Anyone proactively plotting to end someone's life and carry it through is not safe to be out and they don't deserve too either.
