Murder in the graveyard in Tralee. Done in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses. The dead man sent out a video proclaiming he didnt want any part in a feud.
Again the free legal aid brigade are involved,  they are involved in a disportinate level of crime. Society is in decline, but sure as long as they do it to themselves, we'll be alright Jack.

Is that supposed to be a clever way of saying travellers? Do you have data to say Travellers are involved in a disproportionate amount of crime versus other disadvantaged groups?

Anyone accused of Murder in the North is automatically part of the free legal aid brigade regardless of their background or earnings. Is it not the same in the south?

Now it's been 15 years since I studied criminology but historically stronger sentences do nothing to deter offending and in fact leads to higher recidivism as criminals become more and more ostracised.

Since 2008 in NI sentences over 12 months have stopped being subject to automatic remission. Without going into the technicalities sentences have effectively increased in length quite dramatically. It's done nothing to deter offending. Of course unsurprisingly whilst these new sentences were supposed to put a greater emphasis of rehabilitation, the resources required were by and large not provided for. The system up here is at breaking point and needs rethought.

Any impact on reoffending? Probably a more pertinent question.

Reoffending is high but lower than it was. Although it varies depending on the crime. There was a big controversy a number of years ago over a particular course in prison for sex offenders. It was discovered it actually increased reoffending because it encouraged sex offenders to share stories of how they had gone undetected for years with other sex offenders.

I see Jury couldn't agree a verdict in the Silver trial.
Be tough on the Horkan family if as likely there's a retrial.
