Great train robber Ronnie Biggs could be free in a year

Great train robber Ronnie Biggs could be free in a year

Ronnie Biggs, the Great Train Robber, will have his case sent to the Parole Board and could be freed from prison by July next year, his lawyer has said.

On the basis that he is extremely unlikely to re-offend and does not pose a risk to the public, the Parole Board should direct his release. The Great Train Robbery is coming up to 50 years ago. It's high time the State consigned it's desire for revenge to history.
