    You’re saying that “citizen rights keep being constantly eroded everywhere” so we should allow actual murderers of children to not attend sentencing for this reason? Wouldn’t want to hurt their sense of rights.

    Not a chance. I’m not suggesting forcing everyone to appear at their sentence hearing, but for crimes like the one discussed, then they should be made to show up. It’s not often murders of at least seven human life’s appear in UK courts, but on the rare instances they are, they should definitely be made to show up for sentencing

      Firstly, I’m not the one who was arguing anything. Just like you are not the person I was querying on what they think is bullshit in the above post.

      For the record though, I find that to be a very arbitrary distinction. I don’t see what it changes having them there aside from a chance for a Game of Thrones style “Shame” walk.

        Im happy to draw the line if you want. If you actively take away the lives of multiple people, then your “human rights” (what human rights are being violated?) should be inconvenienced a little and you are made to sit in court.

        It’s just weird that youd link this scenario to a TV show scene.
