PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION


I was assured by several Home Secretary's and Home Office ministers that should Oldfield commit another crime with a blade he would be lifed off, so why is his liberty still being given when Crown Court Judges are deeming him to be Dangerous? 

 

I was told in a letter dated 04 June 2001 (one year to the day my brother died,)  By Lord Bassam on behalf of Charles Clarke the then Home Secretary

 

"The Crime Sentences Act 1997 introduced provisions requiring that those convicted of a second serious violent or sexual offence should receive an automatic life sentence, and be kept in prison for as long as it is considered that they would pose a serious risk to the public if released on licence.  The offences included in this provision themselves carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.  The likely reason why Mr Oldfield was not given an automatic life sentence is that any previous offences that he was convicted of was not a qualifying offence for the purpose of this section."

 

 So my argument now is - Oldfield has twice since killing my brother been convicted of using a blade and carrying one while on licence, the Judge at Leeds Crown Court deemed him as dangerous, why has he still not received a life sentence?  Does he really have to kill again before that will be classed as a serious enough offence?

 

 

epetition please sign and share to as many as possible.    My brother was brutally stabbed to death in a premeditated attack. It was proven in court that he was murdered but the Judge gave the option of provocation to the jury  3 days before Xmas.  I do not think this option should have been given as his killer stated he was not provoked by my brother on the stand.    The Government has since abolished this defence as it knew too many murderers we’re getting away with lesser sentences and serving ridiculously short sentences in our case 4 years 8 months for not just stabbing him once but 8 times 4 in his chest as he lay dying he left him for 2 minutes then jumped on his back and stabbed him 4 more times making sure he killed him the 4 years 8 months was the maximum  they could keep him.  Another young man who lived locally never even got a trial the judge accepted he provoked his own death sentencing one to serve 2 years and two other killers 9 months and 3 months.   The law is wrong and this needs looking into how it could ever happen.   Please sign my petition.      https://chng.it/JSYTPvbb5C
