        @BBCNews Do the judges really think of the victims or their families if the system allows this sort of thing?

        @BBCNews This is not a failure if the British judicial system; the Scots judicial system is solely a matter of the Scottish Government.

        @BBCNews almost beggars belief! Unescorted leave! really? isn't the idea of going to prison to deprive the guilty of their freedom?

        @BBCNews Why nick off when you've served 11 years of a 12 year sentence? Surely that's just criminally stupid. 😐
