Life sentence for man who raped and murdered his niece?

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.

hi Constance I've said this many times let the parents at him first after all he took the most precious possession to them , then life should mean life and def NO !!! parole and no little extras like they usually do cos of good behaviour my *** !! but I'm sure he will get his comeuppance in jail cos you know the inmates will get him and we all know prison guards turn a blind eye to this , if they don't there bit in first because the inmates hate child & elderly killers and abusers i hope he rots in hell !!!! ps......and stsw95 wonder if you would be sooo smart with yr remark if it was somebody belonging to you ? you sicko

Sorry; he's the reason I believe in the death penalty.

He should have got a MAXIMUM of THIRTY FIVE SECONDS, - before being DRAGGED to a GALLOWS!

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!

He should be castrated and then locked away until he died.

Just think of all the people he has tainted with this inhumane act against his own family. They should let them judge what could be done with him.


Taffy Saltwater
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.

violence and cruelty arn't the answer!......but in this case....im in with u guys do whatever you want with him!

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.

eye for an eye shoot the f**ker in the balls an let him die a slow death.

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.


pampurredpuss
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.


Korky
He should be castrated,then shot then hung then burnt then boiled in acid,

then I'd kill him

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.


regerugged
Unfortunately "an eye for an eye" no longer applies in so-called civilized societies. If I had my way, I would cut his off, one inch at a time.


marie n martinuk
i think they should let the childs parents punish him, at the end of the day he took there most precious thing in the world from them. how sick are people hese days.


michelle l
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.


Steve F
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.
