Imagine even doing that though? How strange. If you were the family of the non-criminal I very much doubt you'd want to attend.
Although in the Luka Magnotta case I referenced they were both inmates getting married to each other lol.

Yeah. It's nuts.

 

[Legally Bland]

I'm not sure they can get married, well actually come to think of it Charles Bronson has been married behind bars at least once.
I do know that you get can special permission for photos during visiting. E.G a new baby being taken to visit a family member in prison, they can go into a private room and take family pics.
Edit: i think it depends on the prison. I know for a fact it's been done in Shotts, Friarton, Castle Huntly and Noranside when it was open.

Bronson was who I immediately thought of too.

I don't think they should be allowed to play happy families with each other in prison, they should be sent to separate prisons if they're married.

Oh FFS

Maybe it's me but i don't understand what compels someone who is not in prison and has become a 'pen pal' of a lifer to decide upon getting married. I just can't get my head around it.

Yep.

 

[Kikixxxx]

I hope we don’t read about some obsessed fan girl marrying and trying for kids with AC in the future. I’ll be sick. Considering he’s a child abuser would he be even be allowed to do this? Hypothetically...

Some of these people must get disowned by their family (or already have been). Maybe they're not very mentally well.

I don't think it's been just the once for him either. His last wedding wasn't that long ago and now i think they're getting divorced.

I think its called Bonnie and Clyde syndrome, women who are attracted to violent criminals. Its a weird mentality that I can't get my head round but some women's dream man is a serial killer.

This is the image I see when I think of Alesha,and it makes me smile

Beautiful !

I really don’t know how her family cope...I just don’t. To have her snatched away like that, from her own bed and then so brutalised....and for what!! AC may have a life sentence but it’s the family who are living a real one.

I wonder if Rab and his parents will stay in bute? So many good memories tarnished with bad. Living in that flat must be so difficult. I worry about Genie and Rab, he looks so unwell, very gaunt and thin. Genie has her little girl to keep her strong and she has said she’d like to help other victims , so she has a focus. Rab, I’m not so sure. He has the added burden that she was taken from their unlocked flat, by someone he knew from drug deals, I expect that plays heavy on his mind .

I hope they find some way forward and one day the pain will start to ease but it’s going to take a long, long time.

This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

I've heard of that Bonnie and Clyde syndrome.
It's the danger they're attracted to.

I bet he’s got sacks of fan mail already. Shouldn’t be allowed.

Kids? Very doubtful. Depends if he was let out, what the licence conditions would be. I read/watched somewhere that Jon Venebles was made to break off a relationship because the woman had a child so no kid contact must be a licence condition. I would have thought social services would swoop in and take any babies away at birth.

I wonder would a child killer attract a woman like that though? Charles Bronson or one of the Krays I can see being attractive to that type, a creep who murders a 6 year old, not so much.

I recall Bundy got loads , proposals too. Madness !

I said exactly this to my husband the day of the sentencing, poor Rab looks as though he is just surviving,he looks like a man who hasn't slept since 2nd July and I worry now that maybe he was keeping himself going to be sure there was justice for Alesha,but what now? There are so many victims in this case and it's true,the family on both sides are the ones serving the real life sentence.
It saddens me.

 

[TaylorCallum]

Yeah, hybristophilia is apparently a legit type of sexuality. An attraction to violent criminals. How strange.

 

[Yenriac]

You're right, he probably has loads. The prison will be checking his mail before he gets to read it, i think they'll confiscate anything inappropriate or threatening.
