In some places the label of "Murder" applies to the crime with premeditation and malice aforethought, otherwise there is a different label such as "Manslaughter". > Knowing the offender’s > state of mind is thus a perfectly legitimate avenue of > inquiry, and requires investigation into background. Fair enough, but I do not believe a throw-away comment heard in arguments thousands of times per day throws any light on the offender’s state of mind. > I understand you believe there is a right to be > forgotten; In some contexts there is [0]. But I was not referring to any right to be forgotten, simply to rehabilitation of offenders. Once the offender has paid their "debt to society" they are rehabilitated and should not be hindered from playing a full part in that society. > I hope you will understand I consider that > to be Pollyannic fantasy. Absolutely; it is something to be striven towards but unlikely to be totally achieved.
