NO. I could understand if it was like a drug dealer or some white collar criminal sentenced to like a 10-15 year sentence and then they developer cancer 8 years in, but not someone sentenced to life for killing 280 people.

Life sentence means you die in prison.

You do realize that many people in the Scottish Justice system now believe he was innocent, right?

So the Scottish Justice system is full of 9/11 "truthers"? Because they're the only ones I see arguing as such, basically the usual minority of kooks on DU of the type are arguing it was really a CIA black op though they can't explain any motive or reason.

The argument that it would've pissed some people off or made him a martyr had he died in jail is ridiculous. You might as well argue Rudolph Hess should've been released after WWII under the same logic.

Uh, plenty of Nazis obviously weren't in perfect mental shape, including Hitler. Doesn't mean they should've gotten away.
