I was listening to the news, and Pitchfork is a specialist in transcribing printed music into Braille to assist the blind, so perhaps his prospects of employment in life on the outside of prison may not be so bleak, from a financial point of view Edited June 7, 2021 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As far as I can see he was gainfully employed with a wife and 2 kids before he started killing teenage girls. He wasn't a desperate junkie and a murder (or two) was a by-product of a robbery or something and he's got clean and learnt the error of his ways. He raped and killed for his own gratification.  Put it this way, if he's let out, there will be members of the full-life tariff club feeling a bit hard done by.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Annie Bynnol   612 #29 Posted June 7, 2021 A 17 year old boy admitted to one of the murders-according to the police. He had learning difficulties. His DNA did not match the identical samples found on the girls.  The police also failed to take the proper steps to secure the DNA screening of the local population enabling Pitchfork to evade capture.  Without the DNA evidence a boy with learning difficulties would today be being released on parole.

He was a baker before he was convicted. 2 minutes ago, Annie Bynnol said: Without the DNA evidence a boy with learning difficulties would today be being released on parole.

Ridgewalk   97 #32 Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Admitted exposing himself to 1000 women as well as rapes and two murders. Why would someone like this be released ?  What psychological treatment and offending behaviour work must he have done to be released ? 2 hours ago, Mister M said: I was listening to the news, and Pitchfork is a specialist in transcribing printed music into Braille to assist the blind, so perhaps his prospects of employment in life on the outside of prison may not be so bleak, from a financial point of view Not sure why that would mean he's ready for release ?

hauxwell   243 #35 Posted June 8, 2021 The Judge who sentenced this monster years ago said he should never see day light, he went through all of the evidence and saw how evil he is.  The parole board and I would imagine a psychiatrist think he is ready to be released because he’s been rehabilitated. How reliable is their evidence?  Give the families of these girls who he murdered justice, keep him in prison. A life sentence shouldn’t be called a life sentence when it’s not.  15 hours ago, lindylou53 said: No idea but one is too many as far as i'm concerned. I agree.
