I’m overjoyed to read the news just now.

I was in the court as an observer on the last day of the appeal in May, and have checked since constantly for the outcome.
I’m so happy for his family and friends who I was sitting with.

The longest miscarriage of justice in history.

Well I would bring back the death penalty for child murderers ( I am talking about evil people like Levi Bellfield, Ian Huntley bet they aren’t sat freezing their arses off

Using that criteria Stefan Kisko would have been hanged.

Forensic evidence which would have cleared him was not available to the defence and not presented in court.

He was innocent.

I used to ve Pro the death penalty, but now very much against.
I have heard some people over the years say they want it bought back for the killing of children, and others saying for the murder of Police Officers. All murder of innocents is abhorrent, but so is legalised killing.
Look at the USA where some states use the death penalty, has it made a difference to the murder rate? One thing I do know you have far more chance of being executed if you are black and poor.
