I'm slightly surprised the offender didn't get a whole life order in this case (3 #murders using an illegally obtained #firearm) even though he was young, but he will remain in #prison for longer than I am likely to be alive!

I still think there's an anomaly with #sentencing for #murder in #England / #Wales - those who target people known to them seem to get get shorter #sentences than those who attack strangers

I agree with all the points made in these letters, except to point out that #sexoffender #treatmentprogrammes were withdrawn because a #systematicreview a number of years ago demonstrated, not only did they not reduce #reoffending, in some cases they actually increased its likelihood. That's not to say we don't need treatment programmes. But we need to make sure they work first.

" #multiyear #prison #sentences were justified, the court said in a stmt, given “the very high amounts involved, the intensity of e criminal activity,” & the defendants’ “selfish motive”.. the decision is a win for #Swiss #prosecutors, who secured a criminal #conviction against Credit Suisse in 2022 & want to demonstrate that #Switzerland is not a #softtouch on #whitecollar #crime"

Donald Trump has taken January 6 denialism to a new level:
Hosting an awards ceremony dedicated to the Capitol riot.

On September 5, a “#J6 #Awards #Gala” will be held at Trump’s golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey.

The event will include a raffle to win a plaque recognizing the “Justice For All” song performed by Trump and the “#J6 #Prison #Choir,”
-- which briefly reached the Billboard Music Chart.

The choir is made up of defendants serving #prison #sentences for their actions in the Capitol in 2021.

#SCOTUS’ ruling has the potential to affect the #convictions & #sentences of a small set of #insurrectionists — around 27 — who are serving time in #prison for only this #felony. It also could impact about 110 more who are awaiting #trial or sentencing, acc/to prosecutors. In addition, the ruling could affect #Trump’s stalled trial for illegally trying to remain in power after his 2020 defeat; 2 of the 4 charges he faces are based on the #obstruction statute, & he could move for dismissal.
