A different sentence would mean that he could apply for parole himself but that doesn't mean it would be granted - he would have to meet the same criteria. Most people aren't paroled at their first application.

The sentence was life with a minimum term of 10 years..which is below the average given of 15years. Even if most people are not paroled first time, SOME are so this guy could be out in 10??
This was a 60 stab wound frenzied attack on the head, neck and upper chest with two knives..Ian Brady was given life with a 40 year minimum,..the judge had leeway here and totally fumbled the ball
