I don't know if they have murdered the fat convict yet, but if they have, we can perhaps let this thread lie.

But for the record, let me answer the final point of the person posting above Al's rather succinct contribution...

I don't have a view on people with full term tariffs using the courts to question their predicament. Mainly because I don't have a view on whether it means the judicial system is wrong when it is used by those I don't have time for.

People don't get a full term tariff through some magical system, they get it through courts. Hence a court is the proper place to test it. If judgements could not be tested, that alone would strengthen my stance that capital punishment is not an option in decent society.

And advocating it isn't an option in decent company.
