Re: Huntley to claim damages

[quote=gynn;833059] Any financial settlement should not favour Huntley, but that could easily be solved by paying the money over to his victims' families.

Of course Huntley doesn't deserve such considered treatment, but it is the UK prison system we are talking about, not any individual.



Her Majesty's Prison Service have a duty of care to ensure the safety of their inmates, but that having been said, Ian Huntley does not deserve to benefit from this vast sum of money, which remember, you and I will be contributing to(me, from my pension), and which he cannot possibly be in a position to spend.
He is the author of the situation he is in, and surely must have realised that while in prison he would be in danger for his life......maybe he has felt a little of the fear to which he subjected Holly and Jessica....or at least I would hope he had.

If Ian Huntley had murdered a girl of mine, then I would not want a penny from him....but I think I would want him to be in fear of his life....and I think I would also want him dead......most parents if they are honest would want exactly the same. PBWY
