| | Moors murders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Frank Pakenham, 7th Earl of Longford, more commonly referred to as Lord Longford, campaigned heavily to secure the release of 'celebrated' criminals, in particular the Moors murderer Myra Hindley, a cause of constant derision in the public and the press. | | | The Lord Chief Justice agreed with that recommendation in 1982, meaning that Hindley could be considered for parole beginning in 1991. | | | The trial judge had recommended that his life sentence should mean life, and successive Home Secretaries have agreed with that decision. |

| | The authors also emphasize practical issues such as the ability of police to identify serial murder cases and the determination of jurisdiction. | | | I feel that Douglas is too close to this case to be truly objective (he was brought in by the Ramseys' attorneys to give his opinion as to whether or not he thought either one of them could have killed JonBenet; he does not think that either is guilty). | | | A really fascinating look into the world of murder and how police investigate a homicide and take it from the scene of the crime right through to the court case. |

| | The facts of the Moors case are so horrifying that it is a relief to be able to present them very briefly on the ground of their general notoriety. | | | The number of victims, however, is a very unsatisfactory way of categorizing crimes, and a student of the Loeb-Leopold case might be content to attribute the nonrepetition of the murder to quick detective work (or to the loss of Leopold's glasses, if one prefers) rather than to a fulfillment of the criminal impulse. | | | The sincerity of one's advocacy of the abolition of capital punishment would certainly be well tested by immersion in the details of the Moors Trial. |

| | This meant that a murderer was liable to be detained for the whole of his or her natural life, but could be released on life licence when no longer judged to be a risk. | | | By the time they went on trial the following April, the punishment for murder was life imprisonment. | | | The trial judge had recommended that his life sentence should mean life, and successive Home Secretaries have agreed with that decision. |

The Grim Reaper grants no paroles. | | | Yet they employed the death penalty for serious crimes — indeed, murder trials were among the gripping social entertainments of those days. |
