Michael Mullen raped and murdered his 2 year old niece.
Today he was sentenced to serve a minimum tariff of 35 years.
Sounds like a long sentence? Mullen is only 21 years old, so if released after that time would still only be 46. Surely in such a case he should be told -- life means life?
How many years of life, achievement and happiness did he deprive that little girl of?
Any opinions?

yeah sorry, he will be 56 if released after 35 years. Was so angry at this scumbag it affected my math.
But i still think he (and others child rapists/killers) should be told they will NEVER be released. If he is released at age 56 he would still have maybe 25 years of freedom ahead of him. that little girl was deprived of possibly 80 + years.
A minimum tariff of 35 years is NOT enough, he should rot in prison.

I was sickened and disgusted by this and so will everyone else be.
If he's not put into solitary immediately, he soon will be when the wardens turn their back for 5 minute and let the other prisoners do what they want with him.
But there is bound to be some goody 2 shoes out there who doesn't think he deserves that long in prison and his rights are being violated. Sickos like that shouldn't have any rights.

35 years would make him 56. And thats the MINIMUM tarif.
Fact is nowadays sentences are longer than at any time in the past. A 35 year tariff is pretty unprecedented.
Anyway I hope he gets fucked up bad inside!

Normally courts will make up for the age difference by sentencing someone to 85 or 100 years in prison for heinous crimes, and this definitely qualifies. I believe that murdering a 2 year old girl after raping her is definitely akin to a life behind bars, regardless of age.

Eye for an eye and all that, but as they're too gutless to carry that punishment out........cut his nads off the old-fashioned way - tie a piece of cotton round them REALLY tightly until they die and fall off. Keep him in a prison with no windows or lights like the one in Count de Monte Cristo, and give him regular beatings so that he knows what day of the week it is. Oh yeah, when an inmate comes to the jail with a serious mood problem and history of GBH, make him share the cell. In a normal prison, make him associate with the other normal (I use that term loosely!) criminals, no matter how corrupt they can be, they all hate a paedo and will sort him out properly.

I posted a message about this earlier. This is so sick, I do believe that for cases like this, if life isn't going to mean life, then he should be given the death penalty. He doesn't deserve to breath our air after what he has done. He has deprived the little girl of at least 70 years of her life, her family of grandchildren and memories. Even better, how about putting him in a building with all the other paedos, rapists, terrorists and murderers in the World, stick the building in the middle of the desert and nuke it! The best way to get rid of sick trash!

I thought murder with intent was a life sentence but I don't know why he's been sentenced to just 35 years. Unfortunately the law is in a mess in this country and murderers are given exceptions to their disgusting crimes. He has no excuse for killing an innocent child, where is the justice in that? Murder and rape is the most severe crime of all and his sentence is pathetic.

The newspapers only scratch the surface of his appauling crime.
I strongly hope that some sort of Death Penalty can be brought into action for serious crimes that the defendant pleads guilty to.
Life in prison for this animal would be easy as I don't think he's be allowed to mix in the general population.
He should suffer and be executed.

If I'm reading this correctly, then 35 years is the MINIMUM amount of time he'll have to serve. He could (and probably will) be denied parole several times and he is a high target for a shanking - prisoners hate this crime.

he should have had two life sentences, one for each year his defenceless, trusting, adoring niece lived for.
there really are no punishments that would fit this scumbag - his sister will have to live with the knowledge that her beautiful daughter was raped and murdered by the person she has known for ever.
