He won't be getting a whole life order having technically been a 'juve' (17) at the time,.

However, the judge has a lot of leeway and experts reckon he could get 25-30 years.

I’m sure he’ll be completely rehabilitated when he gets out.

He was 9 days from his 18th birthday can you believe it/.

The judge will give him the maximum he can I’m sure of that

What they aren’t saying much is he was also charged with terror offences and producing ricin.

[he could get 25-30 years.]

That’s 140 years too short.

Or 1 day too long.

Still wondering how the UK’s Deep State got the perp to cop to a guilty plea.

So timely, too.

Inquiring minds want to know...

He did and produced ricin

I’m surprised the terror charges dont mean he can’t be kept locked up

But the fact he was 17 and technically not an adult

Evil Axel Rudakubana 'left free to butcher three girls despite years on police radar' Despite repeated concerns being raised over the twisted teen's sickening obsession with extreme violence, there was only ever limited intervention.

The modified limited hangout continues.

The trouble is since the UK doesn’t have a death penalty islamists could take hostages somewhere as we have seen in Gaza and demand his release in exchange for the release of the hostages. Even if he serves the full 30 years you mention he’d be released under the age of 50.

A Daily Mail headline...

“Watch: Axel Rudakubana arrives at court in police convoy”

The perp gets more protection from the public than the public ever got from the perp.

“The hearing is currently running 45 minutes behind schedule.

Security around the court has been exceptionally high. To get into the courtroom there has been a full screening at both the entrance to the court building, and then again at the door of the courtroom.

All of us - press and public - who are inside have been searched by court security staff and then again by police - including pat-down searches, electronic wands and bag searches.

We have not been allowed to take bottles of water inside, and members of the public have had to leave their electronic devices outside too.

There is also a visible police presence outside the court building, and inside the court, with officers in high-vis jackets sitting in the annexe.”

‘Dramatic scenes in court’ says BBC

The defendant started shouting “I feel ill” and disrupted his own proceedings. He was complaining of chest pains

Pity the public wasn’t as well protected from the perp.

well yes, he would be lynched without all that security this guy sparked a summer of rioting up and own the country.

This could take a while presently going through some horrific details but the judge will be broadcasting his sentencing which is very rare

UPDATE

BBC says the defendant has been removed from the dock and taken to a “side room”, presumably after complaining of feeling ill

I wonder if the government fed the perp a pack of lies to get him in the dock and the perp just figured it out...
