Milly Dowler Killer Bellfield In Appeal Bid

Of course he's going to appeal, it won't cost him a penny. It will be another serious waste of the Court's time and will cost the rest of us a small fortune in lawyers fees. We must ask the question, how many murders do you have to commit, before the judiciary finally have the backbone to sentence murderers to a whole life tariff without leave to appeal at the original trial as they do in America.....Unless this is brought on to the Statute Book very quickly, we shall in effect be creating a serial killers charter, on the principle you might as well kill a dozen as one because the sentences handed down don't reflect the severity of the crime.
Discretion exercised by judges in these cases should be removed and whole life tariffs must be made mandatory, in the same way that the death penalty for murder was before Capital punishment was abolished in this country. The old chestnut about hanging the wrong man doesn't ring true, this is especially proven by the number of 20 odd year old cases that have brought previously undetected criminals to justice through the use of advances in DNA testing....What we need now is a government who listens to the people and finally has the backbone to amend the Statute Book to give bereaved families the justice they so richly deserve.......End of Rant.

lawyers. barristers and judges back in the trough again....

For god's sake, just put him down.

Well, he's done porridge for about a year so it seems about right that he gets out but wears a tag. My view is throw away the key, but I fear my opening sentence has credence judging by the weakness of the judicial system when it comes to scumbags.

That Prat should have been Strung Up. Milly Dowler Can't appeal to Have her Life Back

I have come to the conclusion that lawyers. baristers and judges, don't actually care if someone is guilty, innocent or whatever. What is important, is how long they can spin out the arguing about it to maximise their income. Likewise they build complex laws so that they can again ensure a maximum amount of debate to boost their income.

I agree. The lawers are milking it. How do they sleep at night knowing what happened to that poor young girl. Bellfield. You are lucky you didn't fry you fat pervert.

Just shoot the bast**d, end of. It will save tax payers a lot of money. Oh, I forgot that many judges live in cloud cuckoo land and he will probably be released from prison soon.

THIS RSOLE SHOULD NOT BE ALIVE

The legal system in the UK and the rest of the EU is not fit for purpose. When scumbags like this can appeal against their sentences, and possibly be released, it's small wonder that the UK/EU has elevated crime levels.

While I'm on my rant, scrap the human rights law and replace it with a human rights AND RESPONSIBILITIES law. Each and everyone of us should be responsible for our actions, and if people go around committing nasty crimes then they should feel the full force of the law.

The legal system is time consuming - and everyone has the right to appeal if they have grounds to questions the validity of the verdict. I am sorry for the families all involved in court actions because of this guy Levi. But if police have done their job properly, witnesses have not lied in court, evidences have been as they should be, the process will not take long as there will not be much argument for the appeal. Where it is a worry is how secure is his conviction following recent headlines on hacking, the police corruption, etc... But it pains me to say it, but it is right jailbirds can try to appeal their convictions...if we pick and choose who can appeal, we are losing the right to fair trial for everyone in this land. Possibly his lawyers are just pushing their luck with weak arguments and seeking a final pay day. Or it could be he is just so arrogant that he wants to hogg the front page news for a bit by coming out with this instruction to his legal team to act. If they refuse, another firm will accept...he ain't doing his time quietly because to me, he still not admitting he did it and got remorse for it. Such people do wrong a lot but never ever feel for the others who suffer because of the wrongs.

bring in the rope, so if the appeal fails you swing, bet he would withdraw and sit comfee with all his mod cons (no pun ment0 for the rest of his term ,

Old news, sick of hearing about this. Just hang the #$%$

There is something very wrong with a system that allows someone unequivocally PROVEN to be guilty of such a crime, as well as others just as terrible, to launch an appeal of any sort once he is convicted. Very wrong indeed.

Put the clown on the end of a rope. He'd be a proper 'bouncer' then!

This is how it should work. If the lawyers that bring these stupid appeals lose the case. Then they and only they should foot the bill. What i mean is everything, from the judges and staff, the police ect all the way to paying for the electric used as in lighting heating all that. As well as having to pay for any time lost in wages, also they will be made to pay for everyones petrol to get to the court.....Maybe then they will stop this waste of money and time....Now the Dowlers have to go through the pain all over again, just so some lawyer can go to the bank.......Lawyers are just one step lower than a Banker, and a Banker is so low they can fit under a door.....

let him out and let everyone in the country no where he is i am sure someone could deal with this lowlife may even get a knighthood for it

It must be his lawyers pushing this as he is already serving a life term for other murders. It a seemingly pointless exercise and at the tax-payers expense.

Report may not be complete as per usual but it only mentions an appeal for the murder of Milly. If he is not appealing the other murders it is possible that he did not kill Milly and it seems strange that he has attacked a schoolgirl when his other victims were adults. Just a thought and not saying one way or the other as I was not at the trial and did not hear the evidence.

Good!.
