The great train robbery was in 1963 that was 46 years ago(nearly half a century)
The long sentences were handed down because it was a Royal Mail train.
While the crime was bad the attack on the train driver was an assault.
Far worse crimes have been committed since with lesser sentences handed down by the courts.
Are some of the anti Briggs sentiments due to the fact that the man assaulted was a train driver?
The man has done a fair portion of his sentence & is very ill why not release into a bail hostel?
