OK, it's non-musical so far, but I thought maybe someone might write a song.

Thanks for the encouragement DougR, but I wasn't saying Beazley should be exonerated, just that there's a case for clemency. (Not yours Doug - I don't believe in miracles.)

As DtG said, two kids of 19 have just been "freed" here in the UK after serving nine years for an unspeakable murder done when they were ten. They will survive as long as their new identities hide them from vengeance seekers.

Their crime had a profound effect - not least on me, because ny daughter was the same age as their little victim. But to hunt them down and kill them like dogs, for what they did when they were ten? Where do you stand on that, Doug? Are there any grey areas at all in your simple world? These kids are white, by the way. I don't know if that makes a difference?
