High court judges have reduced this monsters sentence, over some crappy get out of free card rubbish. He could be back on our streets in 21 weeks. This is one of the three convicted over baby P's death. Shame on this country.

I can see their reasoning over the indeterminate sentence because those sentences have a particular justification. The 6 year replacement sentence really doesn't seem anything like enough though.
He's only got another 21 months to serve due to time already spent on remand. It's bollocks.
WHAT
Beggars belief doesn't it?
Good old British justice system.

It's particularly nauseating that the British Taxpayers will be footing the bill for this odious piece of crap to get a new identity and protection according to what I heard on the radio earlier as the Home Office have apparently said that his life will be in danger when he is released.
Now, I am not one for vigilante justice but I have to say. If someone commits a crime that is so heinous that a sizeable proportion of the population would act with violence towards them then maybe they should stay in prison for a lot longer.......
Just a thought

I agree with you here. There are two different issues in this case: the first is the indeterminate sentence, and I think the judges were correct to change it.The second is a more general point about shorter sentencing, and that's something that the judges have little control over as they have to follow strict sentencing guidelines. Ultimately, we simply don't have the prison space to accomodate longer sentences. Are all those who complain about short prison sentences prepared to pay considerably more in tax to fund the necessary prison-building?
...And that's before we even tackle the question of whether prison works in all cases anyway. Since Labour came to power in 1997, the prison population has risen by over 40%...

The prison population in England and Wales is 153 per 100000. Other than Spain (160) and Luxenburg(155), we've got the highest in Western Europe and much more than France (96), Germany (89), Belgium (93), Ireland (76) and Italy (92). Although Jersey has 203 per 100000 (presumably due to the fabulous detection rates by Bergerac)! In 2005, the UK had 142 per 100000 (~75000 compared to ~83000 in total). The American prison population is 756 per 100000. Of course, this is only part of the picture because you have to compare prison rates to crime rates to get a more meaningful picture.
no surprise that he's being let out early. Typical CPS
