Karen Matthews due to be released
 

This reminds me of the Bulger killers a bit, and it's all funded by the tax payer no doubt. The idea of being punished for a crime seems to have disappeared completely these days.

Absolutely. It's sickening.

Read about this the other day 4yrs of an 8yr sentence?...disgusting

She showed no remorse in the court either. Was basically laughing

So I presume all of her 8 children have gone into care, have they? I hope she doesn't have anymore :bored:

Vile woman.

- Wonders what this world is coming to. This sickens me. -

She should be spayed like the dog she is before she reproduces again.

wow. eugenics much?

Meh...she's served her time and she's a pretty disgusting woman, but oh well. Not much else can be done really, she's done her time, that's it to be honest.

As for protecting her identity...well if it stops vigilante action, then I'm for it. Such action doesn't solve anything and advocating it is just ludicrous.

okay so she has an 8 year jail term and she's being let out now.... can someone explain this to me?

Good Behaviour most times you cut the jail term in half and thats what most people will serve unless theres a specific date set that they cant apply for parole.

(I think)

She shouldn't be allowed to have any more. She should be spayed.

Is it cheaper this way
is the Tax payer saving money

Disgusting woman, although I agree with Jack RE vigilante action.

I agree that she should not be able to have any more children, she probaly is planning to have more now Shannon and her others have been taken away as she likes to attention seek...

I can understand peoples outrage, and she shouldn't be let out early, but what do people think should happen to her?

If she goes out on to the streets without a new life she will be murdered. She committed a horrible crime, which, in the eyes of the law, she has now paid for. We don't have the death penalty over here, and rightly so, but her crime wouldn't have qualified for it anyway.

Once individuals have done their time, we have to support them back in to the community.

Social issues come way before money, I'm afraid. The world is not going to be a safer place while ever we allow vigilante action to take place or encourage it to take place. It doesn't solve anything, in fact it makes matters worse. This isn't a question of money, this is about working towards ensuring that vigilantes, and eventually (however long it may be, and however impossible it may seem) crime is eradicated.

This.

Disgusting Pig.

...I agree with this...if someone commits a heinous crime and then they decide to end their own life...I'm fine with that...but I would never feel comfortable with any violent action towards this woman...I wish the sentencing would mean just that....that's the thing I would like to see changed..two wrongs solve nothing

I believe in some cases yes, but not in all cases. But that's a matter of law. As for the death penalty being a good thing or not, well that's another matter, and not one to do with this case. So I'll keep it zipped. :blush:

Nowadays the criminals get more help then the victims due to poxy human rights laws!

Yes Stinking New Labours Fault

That's a false statement.

Human rights are human rights, regardless of which party is in the majority.

Hope somebody recognises her and stabs the bitch
