// A man who tried to kill a Muslim woman and running over a 12-year-old girl in “revenge” for terror attacks has been jailed for life.
"Moore had expressed a desire to run someone over and the evidence was clear that his motivation for attacking these victims was hostility towards their ethnicity and perceived religion."
Officers recorded the car ramming as a race and religiously motivated hate crime and said it caused “concern and anxiety” among the local community in Leicester. //

The term Life should be in inverted commas. Eddie’s continual insistence that the minimum tariff is automatically exceeded because of the time taken to process a Lifer’s application for release is not correct as I stated in another question a few days ago.

“A prisoner can not apply for release on parole until the Tariff has been served.”

A prisoner serving Life does not have to make such an application. It is made on his behalf by the government three years before his tariff is up. This allows adequate time for the machinations of the Parole Board and other agencies to come up with a decision by the time his tariff has been served.

My recommendations for a solution to the problem of so-called “Life” sentences can be seen here:

The most interesting aspect of Mr Justice Soole’s ruling is that Moore has also been disqualified from driving for Life. This is extremely unusual (probably more so than “Whole Life” custodial sentences). It will almost certainly be challenged upon Moore’s release.

At present the average time spent in custody for “Life” prisoners is around 15 years. I cannot find the figures immediately but anecdotally relatively few Life prisoners serve significantly longer than the minimum tariff set by the judge. Those who do (such as triple police murderer Harry Roberts) usually make the headlines.
I will never understand the use of the word 'life' in the context of life sentences.

Why on earth they can't just say so and so's been sentenced to 15 years (or whatever) is beyond me.

If nothing else changes in the judicial system I would like them to at least stop using that pointless misnomer.
Ludwig, it might also help to use the US format of “20 to 40 years”, giving the minimum and maximum. Saying 20 years when everyone knows it will almost certainly be 10 doesn’t inspire confidence in open justice,
Agreed jno. Good point.
