While I personally feel that a paedophile is a sick individual I think it only reasonable to point out that even the rabid red top papers had to admit this man had not been charged with or convicted of anything for more than THIRTY YEARS when his killer decided to dispense her own brand of Justice. That's a damned long time, longer than some of the posters on here have been alive. There is no evidence at all to suggest he was up to anything now or had been in the recent past.
Child abuse is a horrible thing and rightly viewed with disgust by just about every sane person around but this particular man appears not to have committed any sort of crime let alone that since the days of the Thatcher Government. The more I read about this case the more convinced I become that Sarah Sands murdered him believing the Sun or the Daily Star would make a heroine out of her and she'd get off scot free. She didn't do this to protect her children, if she wanted to protect them she wouldn't have risked getting her butt sent to jail for life. She picked an elderly man of almost eighty, went to his home and deliberately stabbed him to death. Maybe she thinks that makes her a heroine.
In my eyes she's a disgusting individual who was no better than the man she killed and probably worse because she has the gall to claim she was "protecting her kids" when there was nothing, not ONE shred of evidence to suggest he'd gone anywhere near them or anyone else's kids since before Sarah Sands herself was born. She should have got life, she's lucky she got such a light sentence even when it was doubled. She's a murderer, plain and simple.
