I'd rather 100 murderers live than one innocent person die.

Such a sad and evil story, but surely with extreme cases like this there should be justification for capital punishment? especially when the accused pleads not guilty and drags a family through an extended living nightmare.

Killing is bad enough but dismembering a body takes It to another level of depravity altogether.

Unfortunately EU law doesnt allow it but I think his minimum should have been 60 years thereby saying he would probably die in prison. His 33 years will be accepted by the do gooders and he will probably be released, when he reaches it.

The ECHR is nothing to do with the EU. It was set up in the forties with us as one of the founders. You knew that though, didn’t you?

But BG is correct, although it's a rule rather than a law, you can't be a member of the EU and have the death penalty. It's one of the challenges Turkey faces to be able to join.
