"Sentences are passed by juries at trials nor bt self appointed experts" And I thought sentences were passed by the judges following guilty verdict by the juries… I believe that judges can and do consider expert opinions such as psychiatry reports before passing sentence? Coming back to the James Bulger case. I believe his killers were sentenced to be detained at her Majesty’s pleasure and that it was only the minimum term they must serve that changed? I would have thought that, in deciding the pair were no longer a danger to the public and were fit for release, the parole board would also have had exert reports drawn up and considered?
