Default Doctors deem Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe fit to be freed
He should stay where he is forever, never to be released.


http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...02-952,00.html

Jamie Pyatt from The Sun
February 18, 2009 12:15pm

YORKSHIRE Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has been classified low risk and recommended for release from a high-security psychiatric hospital, reports say.

According to the UK newspaper The Sun, Broadmoor Hospital’s doctors have told lawyers representing the Ripper — who murdered 13 women and tried to kill seven others — that he is no longer dangerous.

According to a source close to Sutcliffe, the medics will support his bid to get out of Broadmoor.

And if Jack Straw’s Ministry of Justice agrees with their verdict, he will be moved to a medium-secure unit.

That means he would skip the high-security step of the mental hospital process and be given much more freedom.

He would then be allowed on to the streets to begin rehabilitation into society.

The source said: “If Jack Straw rubber-stamps it Peter will be packing his bags.”

He murdered thirteen people and tried to kill seven more, but he's considered to be no longer dangerous? Um, yeah, this guy should die in prison, not as a free man. Let him be free when his victims are free from their graves.

He killed 13 people and tried to kill 7 others- he can rot to death in the loony bin. Besides how can we know for sure that without constant observation and treatment he would not relapse into murderous behavior?

A man who murdered 13 people is fit to be freed...

That line just doesn't make sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't released due to the concern for his well-being. There are victims and family members of victims who would probably lose their minds with outrage and do something crazy. I firmly believe this man should die behind bars. A life sentence should mean what it says.
