Rejected petition Make life sentences mean life .

DNA evidence is so strong these days, that anyone proved beyond doubt of murder . Should get a full life sentence. Why should they only get 25yrs for taking someone's life??.

More details

Parliament should make it a life sentence mean life. If a teenager commits murder , they can be out on the streets before the age of 50 . This is so wrong. Just think if someone killed someone you know, they should never walk the streets again.
