    2 out of 7 eye witnesses confirmed it was him, thats good enough for me.

    Ian Huntley

    Fred West, Ian Brady, Myra Hindley, Robert Black, Roy Whiting.

    It's just as easy to make a case for the death penalty with more 'sound' convictions.

    For the record I don't want the death penalty on the basis that if it's wrong to take a human life then it's wrong to take ANY human life. However abhorrent I might find their crimes.

    I'd like to see life sentences mean life, but that's another issue.

    Re: Ian Huntley

    Fair point.

    My argument will always be that 20 years ago, his conviction was 'sound'. 9 eye witnesses all pointing the finger at him. Now only 2 and plenty coming out to say it was another fella.

    Now it could go either way - they've heard he's going to get the lethal and changed their story.

    Just read some background to it - reinforces my distaste for the death penalty. And some Americans. Black bloke had every chance in Georgia....

    Re: Ian Huntley

    And the other fella was used as a witness. To sentence him to death.

    'Yes sir, I do own the same type of gun that was used in the murder. However, you see, I gave it to mi mam earlier this afternoon to hold on to it.'
