Man charged for JO YEATES Murder
Just seen on the News that they have charged someone with the Murder of Jo Yeates.What a relief this person as been caught.
It all seemed most strange how she disappeared (apparently without a struggle) from her flat and leaving keys and mobile etc behind.
So tragic.

It is a relief that he has been charged, I live just a couple of miles away and I hope they have the right person this time - they had originally arrested the caretaker who lived in a flat in the house where she lived. The man charged lived in the flat next to Jo's.22-01-2011, 11:28 PM

I have never really understood when someone has committed an horrendous crime (murder) and is given a LIFE sentence, but very rarely does Life seem to mean Life!
Also do not understand why a Criminal who is given their sentence, is released for good behaviour. Should we not EXPECT good behaviour? Alternatively IF they should cause trouble, increase the sentence. Would that encourage more civilised and socially acceptable behaviour in Prisons?

There was a time when names were never mentioned until someone was charged.
I found that odd too. They used to say someone was being held for questioning. Obviously did not name the person until they felt their investigations led to arrest.

To address your second point.
Prisoners do have their sentences extended for unacceptable behaviour.
