I am glad that this monster has been named publicly. The idea that he would have been protected after murdering Alesha MacPhail made me sick. His picture is all over the news now.

Sorry to reopen this but apparently he's getting to appeal as his lawyer is supporting the claim that his sentence is too harsh as he 'was only a child' when he did it. I don't know anything about legal things so does a lawyer HAVE to take on a case like this?

TitianaTitsling · 15/05/2019 00:40

I bloody hope he doesn't wax!

WaxOnFeckOff · 15/05/2019 00:40

I'm not a legal expert, but I'm pretty sure he can't keep reappealing on the same basis so he would need to come up with different reasons and have them given credence or he would need new evidence in order to challenge the verdict....I think.

WaxOnFeckOff · 15/05/2019 00:36

Don't worry titiana, I'd harbour a guess he's not a regular here and I'm sure Google will have plenty of hits before this one, if he has access.

TitianaTitsling · 15/05/2019 00:34

But he won't have proper justice will he? He'll get to keep challenging things as it's 'not fair' to him and he'll keep dragging this family through this.

TitianaTitsling · 15/05/2019 00:32

I know wax which is why am annoyed at myself for reopening a thread and giving him more attention!

WaxOnFeckOff · 15/05/2019 00:10

It's all a game to him sadly, he'll no doubt be getting his kicks at the thought of dragging it all up again and wasting people's time and money on top. The only halfway satisfactory conclusion to all this is that he is killed in a horrific, painful accident, dying in excruciating pain, all alone, aware that he is dying and being unable to get help or comfort.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/05/2019 00:05

Too harsh!!!!!! doesn't even begin to cover it. He's showing no remorse (hence his appeal) and Now he wants a reduced sentence. He's got to be taking the preverbial.
If it were up to me. I'd double no scratch that, triple his sentence.
What was he expecting? 50 hours community service. What an insult to that poor baby's family.

WaxOnFeckOff · 14/05/2019 23:57

3 possible outcomes - sentence is confirmed, sentence is reduced (probably to 20 years which i think is meant to be the maximum for a minor which is I guess the basis for his appeal) or it's increased (based on his danger to the public).

I've just spent an evening googling various murders on the back of the Crime story thread in AIBU :( It's a bad world sometimes.

TitianaTitsling · 14/05/2019 23:51

I just dont understand what the outcome can be. I think am also still reeling by the ongoing police investigation into what is now being treated as a murder investigation for Emma Faulds in Ayrshire, there's so much violence and hate in this world.

WaxOnFeckOff · 14/05/2019 23:43

It's allowed because it's his legal right and whilst I'd happily watch him rot in jail, i also think that (mostly) it's good that we do have a proper legal system with appropriate checks and balances. They don't always get it right but it's better than a lot of people have. There is always the chance that the sentence can be increased but sadly I don't think that will happen. There are times when people just need to be kept away from the rest of us. There is no way that that individual can be rehabilitated imo so I think he will always pose a risk. Prison in this case is therefor not for rehabilitation or really for punishment either as there is nothing that can adequately punish someone for a crime such as this. Prison in this case is purely just to protect the rest of the population from this predator.

Jemima232 · 14/05/2019 23:41

It's geographically close to me, too. Such a shocking crime.

LilFGS · 14/05/2019 23:40

Hope he loses. Raping and murdering a little girl is harsh. 27 years in prison for it is justice (although too short if you ask me).

TitianaTitsling · 14/05/2019 23:33

I know Martha, l just can't understand why this has been allowed.

MarthasGinYard · 14/05/2019 23:17

Hopefully he hasn't got a hope in hell

Hope the Evil bastard rots

TitianaTitsling · 14/05/2019 23:13

Apologies for the language but this is geographically close to me.

TitianaTitsling · 14/05/2019 22:57

Old thread l know but the bloody cunting bastard is appealing his sentence. It's 'too harsh' apparently.

bodach · 27/03/2019 14:33

@goodbyestranger I think you're right that there's more to this case, although the reporting has been very limited, and the confession is damning although strange. But without a doubt there's questions. Why would a drug dealer leave a key in his door? If the 'calculating, cold' killer washed the DNA from his clothes by throwing them in the sea, why not do the same with the body? What about the lack of statistics for 'stranger' guilt in child murders? Then we have the profile which, apart from the hearsay stories, is of a normal teenager with a girlfriend.

ohcarriemathison · 22/03/2019 08:23

Just heartbreaking.
I fed that he said when he walked with her to the beach se was cold and so he took his top off and gave it to her.
It's just so fucked up.
I have a 4 year old DD and my heart breaks for that little girl and the pain her Mum must be in, how can you ever function properly again.

I think I need to stop reading now as it's just so so sad.

WeeM · 21/03/2019 22:13

It’s absolutely fucking horrific. That poor wee soul has been on my mind a lot today, god only knows how her family are coping

Groovee · 21/03/2019 20:41

My heart goes out to her family. Especially her mum. She's been so strong despite everything she heard about her baby and her death.

brizzlemint · 21/03/2019 19:43

The DM 'reporting' is vile, all the stuff about her father and the murderer's appearance and so on.
That rag, and others, should be closed down. I wouldn't even use the DM as toilet paper.

Nicknacky · 21/03/2019 18:54

Yes, his age.

Trekkingbeyond · 21/03/2019 18:49

I presume he'd be too young?

DangermousesSidekick · 21/03/2019 18:49

No? Why not?
