Whatever the opinion, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson are ineligible for the death penalty, for two reasons:
- There was (and still is) no death penalty in the U.K.[*]Venables and Thompson were juveniles at the time of Jamie Bulger’s murder.
Anyway, we have heard nothing from Robert Thompson since his release, and since he’s done the time, he’s free to live the rest of his life. (I’m not defending these kid killers BTW, only acting within the law)
