he had got lost in the sytem or something, and there was a bit of an outcry in the sunday papers about him about 6-7 years ago.
really interested in what happened to him
Answers:
david blagdon has now been released, but it is very misleading to suggest that his discretionary life sentence was for 'setting fire to some curtains'.
mr. blagdon was a serial arsonist with several previous convictions for setting potentially dangerous fires. the life sentence was intended to keep him in prison until he no longer posed a danger to the public. his sentence continued for so long because the prison authorities considered that if released he was likely to immediately return to setting fires.
.
arson is not a trivial offence. the person who set the penhallow hotel fire may not have intended to kill anybody - but they did.
.
isn't it interesting how many of these unbelievable stories turn out not to be exactly true once you investigate them a little?
he pulled himself together.
im not sure but thats shockin!
(also, "pulled himself together".. OUCH! thats poor lol)
He is still there. The North Koreans want us to free him but we don't work that way here. Curtains cost money you know.
he doesnt want to be free he likes it where he is
I remember who you mean he have mental troubles and set fire to church curtains. court sentenced him to life in prison and I think he still is in prison
