If two adults with a mental age of 10 had committed the same crime they would almost certainly not have been convicted of murder. These two boys had a mental age of 8 or 9 so should never have been convicted in the first place.

 

Now that they are young adults they should be allowed to get in with their lives. They will always have to live with the fact that they have killed someone. Nothing can change that and nothing can bring James (note that his parents never called him Jamie) Bulger back. They have served their sentence and should now be left alone. I don't like the fact that so much money has been spent on preserving their anonymity but I blame the tabloid press for that. Perhaps the readers of those papers should think about how much of the money they spend on buying the paper has been spent on trying to track down Thompson and Venables.

 

i agree tbh.... its rather bizarre that 'the mob' would do to thompson and venables exactly the same crime as what they inflicted on bulger.... making them no better.

 

if he revealed his identity and she flipped.... then his anonymity would be blown and all that money would have been wasted, and more spent.
