On Sat, 16 Dec 2000, David Buttery <davidbutteryANTISPAM@x-stream.co.uk> stated this considered view. To keep the thread going, I replied - > >The fact is, although many people in Europe are still pro-death penalty, >there is no chance of it ever returning (one reason Turkey is having >trouble with its EU application is that the EU will not allow it in if it >keeps the death penalty - including in the case of Ocalan). Parliament >has had free votes on the issue for 30 years - all negative by a large >margin. And, even though opinion polls show large numbers in favour, I >doubt that majority would remain if there really was a referendum. If a 'Life sentence' meant exactly that - NO chance of parole under any normal circumstances, then I suspect you might be right. The 'no parole' would have to be up to the judges discretion of course. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham, England
