Just been watching the news that is of the 5/8/14. It seems a parole hearing of two murders that want to be placed in an open prison has been making a lot of fuss. The inmates are Michael Brown and Gary Humpton. Well the family of the victim that the two men killed made a plea to the judge not for them to be moved at all. I don't know how many times they have asked to be moved. The vicims family was not in court they read their plea by video link. They then over hear the judge say that their views would make no difference in what would happen to the pair, and if they should move to an open prison or not. A mike was left on so the faimly could hear all that was going on in the court room.
So if that is the case why have the family make their views known to the review board?. I think the families should be able to have a say in what happen's to the men that killed their loved ones. Just to put the views out their so the court know how they feel. I know that this happen's all the time at parole reviews in the USA.. The courts should let the families know what is going to happen at all times.
