LET HIM HAVE IT PART 5

"Let him have it." These words, uttered during a shootout by 19-year-old Derek Bentley, sealed his fate. But what did they mean? Was Derek telling Chris Craig, his psychotic partner, to shoot an approaching cop... or, as the defense contended, did he just want Chris to give the policeman the gun? This film, based on a true story, follows the controversial trial that ended with Bentley's execution -- despite the fact that he was epileptic and severely retarded. (Craig, at 16 years of age, was too young to be killed under British law.) The ensuing public outcry eventually led to the abolition of England's death penalty.

Being tough on here is easy when you hide behind your keyboard. Ive seen your profile kid so Im not worried cos youre clearly a little CUNT. If you met me in real life you wouldnt fucking dare to open your mouth. Luckily I lose no sleep knowing that sooner or later your arrogance will get you into trouble and someone will beat you up for one of your big man wise assed remarks that you whisper too loud. Cos thats the only way youre ever gonna be brave in real life, lets face it, asswipe.
