Irrespective of the rights or wrongs of this decision, how on earth can someone be released from a life sentence after just 6 years?

It wouldn't hurt to consider the language used for describing sentences wouldn't it. The judiciary rightly complain that they get a bad deal from the media and public. But this is the sort of thing that doesn't help.

Yes. Revised sentencing descriptions are long overdue. Life should be or at least intended to be for life.

I believe that a Life Sentence does not expire like a fixed term and, even after release, the convict is effectively on parole, may have conditions imposed upon them and can be recalled to prison.
