There's a flaw in that argument. I think by the time the man died several
years later of injuries he received in the robbery, hanging had been
abolished here in the UK.
My own opinion? Ronnie took part in a robbery for his own personal gain
and someone died because of his greed. He then escaped to South America
and lived the life of Riley there for years. He came back to take
advantage of the NHS when his health began to fail and has never shown any
remorse for what he did.
He still has quite a lot of sentence to serve if I remember rightly so let
him serve it. If it means he dies in prison, so be it.
Myra Hindley was not released when she was dying of cancer, so why should
Ronnie Biggs be?
