In the past other offences could be ‘taken into account & left on the file’. The problem here is that he should do life with no parole.

They still can.
-
He should’ve be released then should he.
-
Absolutely not... Just clarifying that offences can be TIC and kept of file if admitted by the suspect.

And once he’d been sentenced to an IPP the DPP was entitled to assume that he wouldn’t be released until no longer a risk - which is presumably what the Parole Board has now decided.
-
It should gave nothing to do with ‘risk’ but the enormity of the crime & impact on victims. This is not good law never mind ‘justice’.

I don’t begin to understand that I’m afraid.
-
Hmmm. That in itself is a very big worry. I understand completely and a very simple person by comparison Mr James Turner QC
-
So please do explain in words that even I can understand and with a logic that I can follow.

I'll try. The number of victims, the life changing distress of victims seem not to have been taken into account. Parole board "confident" will not reoffend irrelevant certainly in this instance. Key factor is punishment relating to above.
-
The number of victims etc is part of the original sentencing process. And how on earth can the Parole Board view as to the matter that statute requires them to consider be irrelevant?

Conveniently, Starmer says he's unable to comment. This is code for "I'm down a very deep hole and must stop digging"

The media seem to be focusing on the victims not being told - surely the real disgrace is the total failure of the judiciary to appropriately sentence those who threaten us all

You don’t understand how the law or the system works.

He got an indefinite sentence... it's not Keir Starmer releasing him.
-
it was not indefinite as such. There's a good explanation of the case posted above via Inews . It's worth reading.
-
I've read it, it's by
@BarristerSecret - I do wish more commentators would read his explanations before jumping on bandwagons though.
