The short sentence implies that the behavior is correctable; and in the case of a religious fanatic there is no known method to correct his behavior other then a lobotomy.
The bottom line is that his sentence is a waste of taxpayer dollars. By getting a life sentence, short as it actually is, he is getting what he wants. He is living on the taxpayer dollar wasting British wealth on supporting him and his miserable family.
By the time he gets out of prison. He’ll be too old to subdue and murder a young British soldier.
I honestly don’t know what more could have been done. A ‘whole life’ tarrif could not have been imposed because only murderers who are serial or mass killers or who committed particularly depraved murders ever get a whole life tarrif that precludes them ever being released.
As he didn’t actually kill anyone, I’m suprised he go a life sentence in the first place.
As I said, when he is eventually released in 15 years time (assuming he’s been a good boy in prison), he will be watched very closely and will have conditions upon his release to ensure his good behaviour. I imagine this will include not associating with shady charectars. If he did, he would be straight back in prison......
