I would be inclined to agree with this, I think I guess it's good that he's engaging himself in studies, instead of learning all the latest crime tricks from his prison buddies, which is, of course, a big risk in prison.

Has anything kicked-off today at Uni over this, Smithy? If anything's going to prove whether or not the guy is still a crazy knife-wielding lunatic it will be his reaction to the media attention and public fury over the next couple of weeks. If he can keep himself to himself and not go off on one during this, then he's probably proved himself as being well enough to be there.

I think in my old age I'm leaning more towards judging people for how they treat me and not for what they've done in the past. This takes me back round to Lord Snow's comment, 'If he's not doing anything to you, why do something to him?' Yes, yes, I know, there will be exceptions to this.
