Today I was told that one of the students on the uni course I'm taking is a convicted murderer. he's on day release, and is driven to and from the uni by guards and returns to his cell of an evening.

has anyone had any experence of this?. I highly doubt he's going to attack but still I find it scary and a little shocking that he's in my class.

The above link is to the story.

I'm all for rehabilitaion and that but i'm going to be a total NIMBY about it.

Stabbed 100 times is a crime of passion...don't earn his passion

I don't think he should be out by day but our murderers can get their degrees in prison.

I aim to not annoy him.....

i've only spoke to him a few times and if i'm honest i find him a total cock - for want of a better word.

He's meant to have received an degree in prison. So this will be his second award if completed, which i doubt it will be.

The court and verdict papers make horriffing reading. The post-morten report was 13 pages long!!!!!! with about 60 stab wound to the head!

How would you like to be the prof that has to flunk him?

Do the guards stick around during the day or just leave him there? I honestly don't know what I'd do, whether I'd kick up a stink or just chill and assume that the guards have the situation under control. Impossible one for me to answer until faced with it in reality, I think

Reading the article, it looks like he's served most of his insanely short prison sentence, so this is part of his rehabilitating back into the real world after he's released. It does seem sick that a person's life is worth so little it is exchanged for less than a decade inside. When I was little, it was minimum 25 years for murder as I remember, and even then I didn't understand why that was called 'life'.

Let us know how you get on with your NIMBY campaign if you start one, although something's telling me that this shouldn't become a head-hunt. What have the other students said, and did this slip out unintentionally or was there a big announcement to the class?

...He’s bussed to the uni by Reliance security guards and mingles with fellow students — who were not made aware of his horrific crime —... ...We watched on Wednesday as Nicol was picked up at Shotts at 8.15am by a white minibus, used only by him... .........“Now he has all the opportunities that kids from poor families can’t afford — and it’s all funded by the taxpayer.” ....

...Student monster . . . Evil Nicol at Napier University in Edinburgh, where he is studying for an economics degree...

Tell him the world economy has already been murdered and he might go away
