Hindley brady and west are just 3 names who spring to mind who there would
be no doubt that if they were executed it would come out later they were
innocent. so where is the risk with them 3? it would help in respect that we
would'nt be paying x amount of pounds per year to keep them in "comfort". It
would be interesting to see the exact costs of keeping someone like them
for 1 month let alone a year.

Yes it would be a risk to execute people like the birmingham lads who were
released, but generally horrible crimes that have been admitted too. if they
are going to get 200 years in collective sentances then what would be wrong
with execution?
