    They’ll be on license for life, which means if they break the terms of their release (parole) they can be returned to prison.

    If released, an offender serving a life sentence will remain on licence for the rest of their life. If they are ever thought to be a risk to the public they could be recalled to prison. They do not need to have committed another offence in order to be recalled.

      That’s very different about the American system. I’m all for reform but I worry about people who murder.

        Murder is murder and this was clearly premeditated, with 3 other potential victims mentioned. However 15 and 16 is relatively young, and 20 years is longer than they’ve both been alive. Maybe people change, maybe they don’t.
