YOUR SAY: Rid of the evil Myra
S M Wood Wolverhampton, W MidsUNTIL I read Carole Malone's column last week, I was beginning to think I was the only person who felt Myra Hindley was jailed for so long simply because no Home Secretary had the bottle to release her. That is not to say Hindley did not deserve a life sentence - of course she did. But the time when she should have been released on parole had long passed.
Other murderers have been released, so why wasn't she?
The answer is most likely, as Carole says, that no government was prepared to risk its survival by making what would have been a highly unpopular decision. They call this justice?
