  • That's crazy, what's the point if looking for mental issues if they just overlooked them every time. Clearly people who murder people with that malicious intent are not in their right mind

  • The wrong sentence was given to these murderers. The right sentence would have been the death penalty in which ever method was allowed by law in that State or Country.

    Putting any murderers in jail with a life sentence is wrong as the financial burden and costs of it falls back on the hard working tax payers and why should they have to foot the bills for these murderers.

    • Death penalty is more expensive than imprisoning someone for life because of the court system. They don't want to kill an innocent person and sometimes they can kill an innocent person because they thought they were guilty.

    • @curiousnorway I beg to differ with you as when they hang someone it cost very little except the cost of the rope and making the noose to make sure their neck breaks when they hang and takes the life out of them just like they took the life out of someone else. If someone is convicted in a court of law by a Judge and Jury of murder they are considered to be a murderer and the forensic science they have today with DNA evidence very few innocent people are convicted of murder. When you get time look up the costs of what is actually cost to put a murderer in prison for the rest of their life and you will find them staggering to the letter.

  • I don't get why these guys ever received parole at all and was allowed back into society when they should have been kept behind bars forever. All 6 of those guys are clearly very dangerous and once they had been locked up it should have stayed that way. Obviously, those people did a piss poor job of allowing them to ever be paroled in the first place. It clearly shows how flawed the system is as it's not a single isolated case but happened in multiple cases.

  • Life imprisonment should be life imprisonment. No one who commits murder like that should EVER be allowed to continue living their own life, or at least not freely living their own life. The relatives of those who were murdered the second time around should sue the authority responsible for the release of these animals.

    • Anders Behring Breivik who's a Norwegian terrorist mass murder who caused death to 77 people were sentenced to 21 years in prison.

    • @curiousnorway - He should have life imprisonment, with no parole, unless he can miraculously bring all those 77 back to life.

    • @MarkRet, agree. It was disappointing of Norway. But hope they extent his sentence.

  • The one that always gets me was that Austrian serial killer who was convicted for murder but released just because people thought he was a genious writer and rehabilitated. And went straight back to killing.

  • All uk based?

  • Tell me again why we do not need the 2nd Amendment. Lol, each of these killings could have been prevented if only the victims were armed.

  • I think the judicial system needs to be reform, and I mean "world wide". We are still holding on to laws that have decades and are not going hand in hand with scientific researchs related to the mental health field.

    If any judge was to ask a psychologist or psychiatrist is it's a good idea to release highly dangerous inmate, for sure none would say yes.

  • Ed Kemper: Shot and killed his grandparents at 15. Released at 21 from a state mental institution. Went on to murder several college girls, and finally his mother and her friend. Now serving a life sentence and turns down his parole hearings saying he isn't ready for release.

  • I noticed you only listed male murders... mainly because disgusting female psychopaths like Karla Homolka are never in jail long enough to be "freed", they simply get away with their acts because they play some victim card.

    • Jodi Arias who's a female murder are still in prison, so it do depend on the person.

    • @curiousnorway Yeah and Charles Manson is still in prison... So does that make the people above irrelevant? ... NO. MORE women murders are free than men. It's simple court system bias.

  • These 6 cases are 6 resons why the death penalty should be mandatory for murder without exception.

    There is no re-offending once the death penalty has been carried out.

  • Interesting myTake

  • all of them look sad, dead inside and ugly. maybe it's not their fault. they don't deserve it... they should be fixed instead. if they are really broken.
