Elle Edwards trial

[sillydot]

Be interesting to see what happens with the Wirral feuds now, because they are far from over.

 

[MrsNorthernGrinch]

Will he actually do 48 years?

 

[Sparklejeannie]

Will he actually do 48 years?

Yes. That is the minimum term he must serve before he can be considered for parole. The people who will make that decision still at junior school probably.

 

[sillydot]

Minimum he has to do is 48 years. Then and only then can he apply for parole which is not guaranteed. So he will be 71 before the time he has a possibility of even getting released. (To be fair i think he will) just like Curtis Warren was released but on strict license.

 

[MrsNorthernGrinch]

I heard Curtis Warren just been re arrested very local to me a few days ago but don't know why for


Also not to sound thick but let's say anyone I know... let's say they got 10, they've got out after 5 on certain terms so this won't happen with Chapman?

 

[MissTeddy]

No it’s a minimum term of 48 years of imprisonment before he can apply for parole .
Its a very very long stretch and I doubt he’ll make old bones.

I didn't know we had a thread. I live quite close. About under an hour's walk from the scene.
I remember Christmas early morning but still dark and being woken by flashing lights of police cars. Which typing this out seems incredible as the road outside is nowhere near the incident.
I remember reading the news before opening presents later.
It was the quietest I'd ever heard my estate. And not just Christmas morning. For days after.
It's so heartbreaking. I don't know any of the families. And just shocked it happened at that place of all locations.
Leaving aside I've no tea, I'm glad 48 years. I hope her family campaigns to make sure he does the full term.
I haven't followed how the investigation unfolded. But saw the footage of his arrest at the supermarket.
That's the point I want to make. Guns were never used usually. It was always a beating or stabbing. I just hope it doesn't happen again for some time. It probably already has.
Lived here decades, this locally is the most tragic event that's happened in memory. It's that quiet. I don't know how to end this but hope it doesn't come across as hogging the attention of the killing.
That's always the important bit. He's lucky he's just got a prison sentence! The amount of smaller/interconnected/etc gangs who were ok until he bought that heat onto North East Wirral.
I always thought if he doesn't get arrested, he'd get executed.
48 great.
R.I.P. Elle Edwards.

Same here. I live not 15 mins walk from the Lighty. It was so surreal the morning after. Took us all months to go back in there, and the memorial outside just broke me when we did. I'm glad he got what he deserved, but this will happen again unfortunately. I'm sure of it.

 

[chattycatty]

It doesn't fit the criteria for a whole life term. I can't believe he got 48 years, one of the biggest sentences I've ever seen, and people are still unhappy. Imagine being 23 years old and knowing you will never see freedom for 48 years, if you live that long. Just let that sink in.



Agreed. His life is over. And if he's already sulking under a blanket, on anti depressants and living on instant noodles, he ain't gonna last 48 years!

He will be dead soon him he wont last in there. Hes going to be away with real horrible murders stuff that make your toes curl he wont last

 

[sillydot]

Sadly he isn’t wired up like you and I. The people he will be around won’t phase him. He’ll have plenty of pals inside. He’ll take every risk going, phone, drugs etc cuz it can’t get any worse for him can it.

Another local. Still remember the news filtering through on local FB pages. Everyone was just so shocked.

 

[sillydot]

Curtis Warren was arrersted for breach of his licensing rules but then bailed (apparently he has to give notice when he wants to travel and hadn’t but then it materialised he had) They need to leave him alone he’s done his time.

I don’t know about them and I live here Can you elaborate? I need educating!

 

[sillydot]

It’s all drugs related. I’m not just singling the Wirral out by the way.. it’s rife in any city, town, village, places you wouldn’t even think, where you wouldn’t even know.

You probably had no idea about them until this shooting right?! I don’t want to say much but Connor getting a 48 year sentence will not stop any of them thinking twice about picking up a gun again.

what happened to Elle could happen to any of us, at any time, in any place. It’s a scary world

He's in Strangeways at the moment isn't he? Wonder where they'll send him.

Strangeways is such a tit hole (do they still slop out?) … but imagine he’ll be sent out the area maybe.

 

[sillydot]

No idea.. That toms in Altcourse but they are planning to move him to Manchester for his own safety (not that he’ll be safe anywhere he goes)

 

[Tiger tat]

Ha me too. The things my partner tells me that they hear in their job are absolutely baffling to me. It’s such a corrosive, all encompassing culture if you’re caught up in it.

Imagine though, being the child of a premier league footballer with all the money you’ll ever need and being in a relationship with some gangland fuckwit.

 

[sillydot]

Dont be fooled by the high profile footballer players.. they are all wrapped up in it. Especially a lot in Liverpool - The fowlers, Gerard’s, Gallaghers are all linked to it. You only need to see who Steven Gerard’s daughters fella is

 

[Tiger tat]

Yeah, I remember all the kick off in the mid 2000s about Alex’s affair… hadn’t thought about it for years, but good to know Gerrard is holidaying with a Byrne. Honest to god all the money in the world can’t stop some people, can it?

Frankland ect high security hes a lifer now so its nothing like what hes been used to
