Just who is on that Parole Board? How can someone with a long list of past violent, criminal behaviour, who when in prison committed arson, was suspected of having a mental illness, was a drug user and committed at least one horrific crime while high on ice, who had ties with radical Islam, who had spent much of his life in prison, be considered an acceptable risk to release into the community????? Surely, the Parole Board needs to have on it psychiatrists and terrorist experts, at the very least??? His own family have now come out saying they were witnessing a deterioration in his recent behaviours and attitudes. How much time is given to assessing someone before them before deciding on giving parole? I recall hearing it was very little (during the trial of Adrian Bailey that was acknowledged). Now the Parole Board is awarding parole less often, according to them this morning as they are lashing back at the criticism of themselves because of this Brighton case. When they get it wrong, they get is SPECTACULARLY WRONG.

The whole field of mental health is a subjective minefield. The parole board already has it's bias toward releasing someone into the community. All that they need to support that view is the opinion of two or three so-called experts that complement their view. Not long after that they are released into the community and the whole cycle repeats itself over and over again.
