FOR A profession noted for nit-picking, it is a mystery why the term life sentence is used by the legal fraternity to denote a half life sentence.
The killers of lawyer Tom ap Rhys Price now aged 19 and 18 will be freed age around 40 and 35.
With life expectancy it means they will have a half life they denied Mr Price.
It can't be a life sentence unless it means for life.' MR D PRATT, Plantation Street Accrington.
