Michael Adebowale, who was given a 45-year prison sentence for the murder of soldier Lee Rigby, has been given permission to appeal against his sentence.
Adebowlae, 22, was convicted of killing Fusilier Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London on 22 May last year.
He was convicted alongside fellow Islamic extremist Michael Adebolajo.
A full appeal hearing in front of three judges will take place at a later date, a spokesman for the judiciary said.

What a sick country this is when people like him have 'rights'.

What a splendid country this is when even scum like him have rights.

If the legal system didn't pay so much to the Lawyers and Judges, they wouldn't consider it
imo. |

Appeal on what grounds?
That he did it in the name of a god that he now knows never existed, or a prophet who if still alive would be getting a call from the Yewtree police? |

By:
Appealing the sentence, not the conviction. The appeal panel will have the option to increase as well as decrease the period of incarceration.

@Ramruma I'm not sure Lee Rigby's family would agree with you.
When someone commits as heinous a crime as this they should lose all but the basic rights to a bed, food, water, toilet facilities and regular exercise. |

get him sewing mailbags and when he has made enough let him pay for his own appeal

I am with Ramruma on this one

Think Ramruma was being a tad sarcastic there.

I believe everyone is equal before justice |

 very good BBIt was a brutal cold blooded murder, the sentence needs to be in line with others of this type I would think about 30 years, he serves just over 20, and is deported People are judging him on his religion, but it is not an offence being a Muslim even an extreme one |
|
By:
I have great sympathy for Lee Rigby r.i.p. and his family
but this is not the only murder that occurs in our society, is it? |
|
By:
perhaps 35 years then...he serves 25

Ebulgery he's not going to get his sentence reduced to 35 years from a life sentence which is mandatory for murder. It will be the minimum term that will be considered.

By:
I'd let him out.
Then shoot the coont. |

By:
@ebul you talk a lot of sense at times but then again you also talk a lot of chyte.
People are judging him on the brutality of this crime and nothing else. |
|
By:
fair enough...but I think 45 years is too long
Lee Rigsby was stabbed to death they then followed with rather grotesque beheading I still hold to my opinion other can disagree....in fact they do don't they |

I would have thought you would be of the opposite opinion given your track record for reporting posters for nowt. |

If ever there was a reason to bring back the death penalty, I sincerely believe that this case is definately one of them.
