victim stabbed 56 times and killer let out to attend event after two years. law and disorder

So ya think injustice rules in the USA with regard to the Criminal Justice System?
Ha.  Take a look at this bit of lunatic asylum thinking on the part of authorities here.

If you take the time to read the comments after the article at the link, you will see more evidence of how little public opinion and desire are thought of. And this isn’t new. It’s only the latest in a long line of outrages. And yet many here (on the left of course) still go on and on about the large number of citizens who are “incarcerated” in the USA.  Ignoring that many are not citizens at all. Still though ... this really does beat all.
Is it now okay to say, Only in England?  But then, that wouldn’t be entirely true either. Would it?

I will never, ever understand this kind of thing.

Tough justice? Killer who stabbed love rival 56 times is let out for wedding and a half marathon just two and a half years after being jailed

Karla Biddle, 34, jailed for seven years in 2009 after she killed her ex-fiancé’s new girlfriend
Friend of victim’s family: ‘They are struggling to cope as it is. To see pictures of her enjoying herself so soon after being sentenced for a brutal crime is devastating’

A killer who stabbed her love rival 56 times was at the centre of a prison investigation today after being photographed at a wedding and running a half-marathon.

Karla Biddle, now 34, was jailed for seven years in 2009 after she knifed her ex-fiancé’s new girlfriend Emma Bradshaw in a frenzied attack the previous year.

The family of Miss Bradshaw condemned the sentence earlier this month when it emerged that Biddle is due to be released from prison this week after serving just two years and eight months inside.

But the latest pictures are sure to pile fresh hurt on the grieving family.

They show a smiling Biddle posing in a pink party dress at a wedding in Co Sligo, Ireland, this September. The killer looks on as other guests enjoy a chocolate fountain.

Biddle has also been photographed grinning while running the Birmingham half marathon and joining a Race For Life charity run.

The prison service is now investigating whether Biddle, from Yardley, Birmingham, breached her licence by attending a wedding in the Irish Republic.

Prisoners are not normally given permission to travel overseas while on licence.

If she has been found to have breached the conditions of her licence she would be sent back to prison to continue serving her sentence.

After seeing photos of the killer at the wedding and running events a Prison Service spokesman said: ‘We do not comment on individual prisoners, but if prisoners breach their licence in any way, they will be subject to disciplinary proceedings and are likely to be moved to closed conditions.’

The victim’s devastated family said they were ‘disgusted’ by the photos.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
