Pitchfork!

Knife & Fork pending
Confirmed by the parole board today that he is suitable for release (Leicestershire Live).
That really is sickening and shocking!
 
I listened to the podcast about how the introduction of DNA prosecuted him. I was living away from Leics and out of the country a lot at the time. I’d fully no idea of the total atrocity of the incident for years. This horror should never see the light of day ever again.
 
This highlights the Parole Board's responsibilies and they have discharged their statuary remitwhich is to decide their opinion.
The problem is the original judge decreed a limit to his sentence to be decided by the Board.
There are some crimes which should, imo, involve full custody, like this one, which included, let's not forget, deliberate deception of the DNA process resulting in its success due only to the sharp eyes of a lady in a pub.
 
I'm actually surprised his time inside made it to this point. Disgusting. Evil bastard should have been strung up.
 
Shocking. What type of fuckwit serves on the parole board. If pitchfork gets out this opens the door for other lifers to put forward their case on how they've changed & are no longer a danger.
Rose West & Ian Huntly come on down.
 
And he used to live in Haybarn Close.:oops:
And it's fourteen years each as a judge lopped two years off for being a good lad...
 
This sound very much like the John Warboys Case. He was a London multiple rapist that the parole board tried to free after after 10 years. That decision was overturned by the high court after a family and public outcry, and decided that he should remain in prison after noting his risk and "Sense of sexual entitlement". The parole board s chair lost his job over it. I feel the Pitchfork case will most likely have the same result. (Hopefully).
 
Personally think the public should be allowed to know where he lives on release. If someone attacked him then of course that would be a crime in itself, but why shouldn't he spend the rest of his days looking over his shoulder ?
It's the least he deserves for ruining the lives of those two families.
 
The twat, if released, does not have to go on the SOR. Because it didn’t exist when he raped and killed two schoolgirls.
 
I don't look across the pond with any particular envy of America, but I do wish we had their judicial tariffs when sentencing. I just read where a man who was convicted for one murder got a 112 year sentence. No farting around, and a degree of justice for the victims family.
Pitchfork would never walk the streets again if he was a yank.

He would probably never walk the streets again here if he were convicted now. The reason he's been granted parole is because he was convicted at a time when 'whole life' tariffs were seldom used.
 
Some of the sentencing seems odd to me though.
When Ian Huntley was sentenced for the 2002 Soham murders he got 40years minimum.
Huntley killed the 2 ten year old girls, Pitchfork killed 14 and 15 year old girls, yet had a 30 year sentence reduced to 28 on appeal.
What is the difference in these crimes that warranted there being ultimately 12 years between the sentences?
 
The difference is, as has been pointed out, the dates of the crimes. This country did not rush to the amazing sentences now commonplace in the US for a number of reasons.
The incentive of parole enables some degree of self policing by the inmates, enabling lower staff numbers and costs. Also those earning release can (they hope) become productive members of society again.
But, but, but, there are some who will never be released for safety reasons, I think Pitchfork should be in that category.
If the Board are so confident in his rehabilitation then why impose various restrictions on his company, hours and areas of habitation?
There is also the belief that psychopaths can never be cured, so best not to take risks...
PS It's rarely noted but he missed a third victim down the road from here when she twigged and bolted.
 
I read about the 3rd girl some time ago.
One of Pitchforks traits was that he was a control freak who was more likely to get sexual gratification when his victims were pleading with him. Apparently this 3rd girl said something to him that deflated him and ruined his vile thought process.
I don't know whether she realised how lucky she was at the time.
 
Even with a new identity, someone, somewhere will realise who he is before too long & justice will be done. It only takes one person to twig, say summat online & Pitchforks cover will be blown.
