Ripper in legal bid for freedom

[YoManGo!]

Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is aiming to win his freedom by claiming his human rights have been breached, a leading law firm has confirmed.

Sutcliffe murdered 13 women and tried to kill seven others across northern England in the 1970s and 80s.

But now a lawyer specialising in human rights cases is to argue the Home Office has fallen foul of the law.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said it was "hard to imagine circumstances" in which Sutcliffe would be freed.

be interesting to see if he did get freed tbf
they'd surely have to give him a whole new identity to protect him

[Minstrels]

If he does get out (which I can't see happening) then he'd get abuse for the rest of his life...

Everything would be kept secret if he was released as well as him changing his name again. Although, it's not impossible people will find him it's unlikely.

He has a cheek complaining that his human rights have been breached. How many people's human rights did he breach.. :S

If he gets freed, I hope someone shoots him.

Weird... we were talking about him today in History

I think it would be best for someone to shoot themselfs if he got released, not shoot him.. Youd probaly get sent to prison longer than he got in the first place.. The justice system and sentencing is so wierd.

It seems he has also changed his name, not sure why.

From the news article:

But Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she could not see how Sutcliffe - who has now changed his name to Peter Coonan - could be freed.

"I find it hard to imagine circumstances in which he should be; but that is something that needs to be considered on the basis of the facts.

"Top of my list of priorities, I have to say, is not Peter Sutcliffe's rights, it's the rights of those people who were his victims, and how we keep this country safe."

I don't think he should be freed. He took 13 lives, and attempted to kill 7 more. He has only served 27 years or there abouts.

There was a documentary on yesterday evening, and they interviewed women that he's been corresponding with, and he's been deceiving them.

I can't beleive he is even thinking about trying to get out. He murdered 13 people and if he managed to kill the others it would be 20. This is why we should have the death penalty, Hopefully if he ever did manage to get out he would be killed in the most painful way possible.
