No no, I know the name of Marc Dutroux. I every consciously saw the news footage when his heinous crimes were first uncovered. I also remember he escaped a couple of years back. Must have picked Theroux up somewhere else.
That's just insane! I don't know what crimes get around 3 years in prison but to not let people sit their punishments out is hardly going to encourage people not to do stuff. I'm all for rehabilitation, but this is just letting people get away with things. The last couple of years the Netherlands has adopted laws that give direct relatives of victims or victims themselves the right to tell in court how the crime has affected them. Recently the things that are allowed to be said has been expanded, so now you can also tell about emotional distress etc.
