Re: Bridger drops appeal against whole-life prison sentence


	Quote: Fewer than 50 other criminals in the UK have been handed sentences which mean they must spend the rest of their lives behind bars. Others serving whole-life terms include the Moors murderer Ian Brady, who tortured and murdered children along with his accomplice Myra Hindley.

The fact that it is used so sparingly shows that it is appropriate.

I'm surprised he didn't carry on regardless. At the very least the hearing etc would have been a change of scenery for him.
