Sadly I am not surprised but the legal aid bill for these 3 is nearly half a million pounds

I suppose we should see this as good value as  most of us would have tripled the sentences so by that measure they did a good job for the pieces of shit   clients

Everyone is entitled to a defence and rightly so. It's not the defendents' fault that their court-appointed lawyers are greedy cunts.

Would you rather they weren't correctly represented and therefore able to have their convictions quashed on appeal because of it.     It's going to cost the tax payer over 3/4 of a million to keep them in prison as well.

The lawyers will have been on legal aid rates and the government will have decided how much they should be paid.

Suprise surprise. The Scum and The HateMail publish a bunch of lazy, reactionary bollocks.

Reading about the mental torture these bastards will suffer in a US Supermax prison has made my day. Its worth scrolling down  to read about the conditions they will be held in. Nothing like it exists here.

''A last gasp challenge which could have stopped the British ISIS Beatles facing justice in America has been thrown out of the High Court this morning.''

''The new court move means they face a life sentence at the notorious 'supermax', formally known as the US Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado. Supermax has been variously described as 'the prison of prisons', 'life after death', and a 'high-tech version of Hell, designed to shut down all sensory perception'.''

great news scum. hanging is too good for them..

When I started this thread, I hadn't considered there might be posts about other relevant cases and stories.

But I'm happy for that to be the case. Scum doesn't get much scummier than the ISIS beheading gang. I just hope they come to hate every living moment they have left in their miserable lives.

I haven't read the four pages but tbh I'd begrudge the cost of three bullets to the back of the head for them.  I suppose it could come out of a whip round at their funeral, which would probably end up a mix of a car park scrap and several of the family having their end away.
