Murderer's appeal 'unarguable from the start'
What disturbs me about this case is the claim "Hairdresser Kelly Hyde, 24, of Ammanford, was smashed to the ground in a brutal motiveless attack by Jones at a bridle path close to Mill Terrace in September 2007". In my experience, there is no such thing as a motiveless attack. Sometimes the investigators cannot prove what the motive was, which is not the same thing as saying it is motiveless. Then there is the low 12 year tariff. Whilst bearing in mind that Jones was only 17 years of age at the time of the offence, as things stand he may be released when he is 29 years of age, still young, and only 5 years older than the age of his 24 year old victim.
Whilst the report states "Emotional members of his victim's family said afterwards that they were "very happy with the outcome".", I am not. It maybe that they are happy that the appeal was rejected. I feel that the Court of Appeal should have increased the tariff period to be served. Failing this, the National Offender Management Service should ensure that Jones undergoes Sex Offender Treatment therapy. I suspect that this is a classic case of a sexual predator.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
