Not a fan of James Hoffmann then? 😜 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb0O2CdPBNi-QqPk5T3gsQ

This one? It had become a tailors by the time this wartime photo was taken. The tudor buildings either side of it were knocked down too. The archway on the right is the entrance to Whitefriars Lane.

No you said that he was tried today he would only serve a couple of years in jail on account of having a mental age of thirteen. Here's the post: https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/how-much-does-it-cost-to-employ-315-nurses.125275/post-2125918

Not at all. I'm saying that if he indeed "had a mental age of thirteen" then he was not totally responsible for his actions and should have been incarcerated in a suitable institution, regardless of the cost to the taxpayer.

So you're now saying he was fully responsible for his actions and having a mental age of thirteen* is no defence? *Which I don't necessarily agree with.

It's irrelevant which parts of the US system I would hypothetically gut since we are discussing the UK which does not have the US system of justice. I merely pointed out it would be a lot cheaper. In another thread I actually put forward and argument for keeping a prisoner alive...

Where do you think they would send a policeman's murderer's accomplice with a mental age of thirteen then? Disneyland?

If as you say he had a "mental age of a 13 year old" he would be sent to a maximum security hospital and probably institutionalised for the rest of his life at enormous cost to the taxpayer.

You think he would walk free after a policeman has been shot dead by his accomplice do you? I can just see the tabloid headlines.

He would still be convicted if the same crime was committed today.

How much would it have cost to keep him in Broadmoor for the rest of his life?

There was an appeal process back then, it was just a lot faster than in the USA and presumably much cheaper.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28688474 "The average wait on death row in the US is 13 years."

Not the USA, that's for certain.

In my book that was a good reason for keeping him alive. Also there was a possibility he could have eventually revealed the whereabouts of the missing graves which might have given the parents of his victims some closure.

How is a US study relevant to the UK system of justice?

MRS Otis must be pissing herself laughing?

I'm sure they can find another 1,000 Biden votes from 'somewhere'. ;)

There's been a mass migration of Democrat voters from California to Arizona.
