these days he would have got 6 years and been out in 3.
 
one would have hoped that after 45 years of rehabilitation, he has changed sufficiently enough.
People seem to forget that prison isn't about punishment, it's about reforming the character of the prisoner.

You'd think. Although apparently in 2009 whilst doing a work project he threatened the owners of the business with violence so I doubt very much that he has learnt his lesson.
 
Harry Roberts would have been hanged but the death penalty had been abolished eight months earlier.

If his victim had died two days earlier, he'd have been hanged for an earlier ofence where he attacked a man with a bottle and the guy died a year and three days later. I think it's a year and a day after being attacked, that dying from the injuries would be deemed murder.
