The law is the law. It is there because if we based all our judicial decisions on emotion we would have utter chaos. While I don't always agree with the rulings we hear of in the media, I am glad I live in a country where there are rules. I'd hate to live somewhere where, for example, you might get stoned to death without trial on the whim of a few individuals. Like Britain, before our legal system was as solid as it is now.

A child rapist has been released after a judge said it would be "unlawful" to keep him locked up.

 

Yes, I can see your quote in the post above is a direct copy and paste, but my "not quite" comment, as I'm sure you can see Val, was with regard to your thread title

 

The thread title applies to the man in the thread, so in this case is correct.
