25 years here in Australia usually.

She's actually been sentenced for the rest of her natural life... not the "life with parole" that people usually get.

<font color="cyan">But will that be served?

Or does good behaviour etc come into it and she gets out early cos she is remorseful?

They do in england [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] </font>

According to one story...



Doesn't look like the time off for good behavior option is active.

She's apparently been trying to appeal her sentence since it was handed down, but the lawyers aren't having much luck finding loopholes.

To the Aussies... are there cases (like this) where parole or early release are not available?

<font color="cyan">I think there were a few cases in England were parole wasn't optional, like in the case of the Moors Murders. They been in since the 60's, and won't ever get out.</font>

Chased her husband around with a knife? For times like these I wish we still had the old punisment of making people fight to death on an arena.

<font color="cyan">Nah, bad idea.

Theres always the chance someone as loopy as that might actually win back their freedom.

Safer to throw away the key.</font>

I'm not saying that we should set the survivor free. The survivor just lives to see the next match.

<font color="cyan">Ok thats allowed.</font>
