they do deserve life but i think they will plead insanity or try and exploit some other lesser crime...... but to be fair, only a crazy person would commit such a dispicable crime in the first place so they will probably get away with it and be put in a mental asylum for life
as for lawyers, they are a disgusting race to begin with and they will sell out to anyone for money. so long as they can convince themselves they are doing the right thing, they will sleep soundly at night

So do you all believe that these guys will be put with the general population when they are eventually locked up?
Don't be so naive. They will be put in a special unit with like minded souls where they will live in nice heated cells with daily access to the leisure facilities, all kinds of activities, classes and sky TV all bought and paid for.

Let us not forget, the principle of a terrorist is to invoke terror in others and this is exactly what these two did - we all remember the heightened security and police presence in the days/weeks following this vicious attack - yes we have lost one sole but the affects will be felt by countless others and be longstanding thus, regardless of what happens next, they achieved their aim.
Now, the whole point of the plea is to prolong that effect and keep it in the public eye for as long as possible and no doubt the endless appeals over countless years will ensure that continues - hell one has already been attacked inside and is no doubt claiming compensation as he "wasn't adequately protected" hence they will never see general population.
It is us, the public, that give them a soap box to stand on by continuing to pay an interest. They should have their day in court as dictated by our legal system but there should be a media blackout. No interest, no terror, no power.
As for the solicitors/barristers, they sleep well because they believe in the system. Will they defend them, no that's not their job, they are there to represent and ensure their side is heard no matter how ludicrous it is in the face of overwhelming evidence and trust that the jury see it for what it is.
Now that's all a bit deep for me so I'll have to have a lie down. Rant over - I'm sorry

Some scrotebag lawyer will defend them out of course, but he'll know he'll not win but just rub his hands and think of the money he will make.Converted Steve said:
And I dont agree with life sentences for a crime that they are blatently guilty, and will be out in 25 with good behaviour. That is a waste of 25yrs of Govt/public money.
End them from the beginning.
They have to have a defence lawyer (or defend themselves) That's the system - but I wouldn't like his job if I were in that profession!
There have been many crimes that the defendants were obviously guilty as charged but they all had to go thro due process.
Its a penalty of living in a civilised society.

Agree - "I killed him, yes. But it's not illegal because I only answer to Allah, and he says it's alright."
He's turning himself into a living martyr, it's awful - I can't imagine what it must be like to be the victim's family
I know, that's just what I was thinking. Can you imagine if it was your son (or husband/wife)? My heart goes out to them.
Totally agree, Asked what his defence to the murder charge was, Adebolajo said "I am a soldier of Allah.Carol M said:
He said it was not murder because "I am a soldier of Allah" and "this is a war"
He also told the Old Bailey he loved extremist network al-Qaeda :x
Pretty smart fcuker, isn't he ? Playing a different kind of game - I reckon he had it all figured out before even starting. He knew he can't get the death penalty. He also knew that he'd create the perfect platform for propaganda in such a high profile case by being tried for murder - unlike those who are quietly taken down by the security services and charged / tried / imprisoned under counter-terrorism acts that by their very nature are managed very differently. By doing it this way he's got a gold plated opportunity to inspire wannabe jihadists with his freely published idealism, and to demonstrate just how easy it is to take someone down in the furtherance of their 'cause'.
It's disgraceful. I am all for a judicial system that demands that guilt be proven beyond reasonable doubt, but this is taking the pi55. Not sure what can be done though, barring censorship which would poke a whole different hornets' nest.

If the lawyers are also Muslims with extremist leanings then I guess it's possible that they believe (agree with ?) his justification of his actions. Then again, it could be as simple as Geezah's comment...
Aren't you entitled to a lawyer irrespective though, so if you can't afford one or none will represent you then you have the right to be appointed one ?

If the evidence is as strong as it is reported against these two then they'd be hanged, end of story.
I have studied Islam for 15 years and there is nothing in the religion that directs this barbaric behaviour or anything the like of it, they are clearly not right in the head.
I would like to think that most people would see that individuals like this are few and far between and this act has been condemned by an overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world.
