No controversy over this one

The Emery verdict will be somewhat polarising. The sentencing of Liam James Reid will not be with a non parole period of 26 years and for his crimes of , and attempted murder.

In theory he could be released when he is 62, and that is too soon. That is why support 's change to allow the very worst killers to be given life with no parole. But the non-parole period is a minimum and I suspect no Parole Board will ever release him.

The tragedy is he was ever free to kill Emma Agnew after 61 previous convictions.
