He arrived in court in an unmarked taxi, not sure if he left in one tho.
Unreal. Uber to court. What next?

I think it was because it was extremely high profile, well that’s what I was told this morning.Looks like he left in this, I thought that was weird he didn’t leave in a proper prison van. Maybe they don’t see him as any risk of escaping or anything? Or maybe it was cause he left court early and was a van just for him
odd. i've never seen this before.Unreal. Uber to court. What next?

o, for his own protection? anonymity?I think it was because it was extremely high profile, well that’s what I was told this morning.
Imagine being that driver:
-"What you doing today?"
-"Oh just getting sentenced for raping and murdering a 6 year old, you?"
He'll come up against hardened criminals during his long imprisonment, who will not be impressed by his smirking and persona , and will hopefully deal with him their way . Prisioners know each other so I very much doubt he will ever go to top of the pile . Child sex offenders are the dirt on the sole of other lifers shoes . He will have to sleep with one eye openNever. Not in Scotland, everyone in Polmont knows he’s in there and lots of young guys ready to be a hero. He’ll charm no one.
I found this , I’m not sure if it’s different coz he’s in a young offenders and not an adults prison but it’s basically the difference between convicted vs remand
60 minutes of visitation per month. Wow. Now there is something I think is stricter than the US
I've visited Shotts on a weekly basis.That can’t be right surely. Especially not in a young offenders. They’ll be allowed visitations weekly at least, i’d Imagine.

Yeah, I think it will be more than that. Not that I imagine he'll be getting many visitors. It says 60 minutes minimum per month, so perhaps that's legally the smallest amount they can give but that they allow more.
I've obviously got an overactive imagination! Thanks again for your good work.[/QUOT
He seems to be a sadistic psychopath which is unusual even among serial killers. He's someone who should be studied extensively for that reason.I think it's so hard because there are so many kids with behavioral issues who would never do something close to this. And there are people whose brain scans would show them to be on the psychopathic scales but who also don't do things like this. They just become great salespeople or politicians.
I don't think things like this can always be prevented unless kids are already committing serious crimes and can receive intensive in patient care for that before they graduate to horror like this.
But so often it seems to either come out of the blue or seems to come from just another troubled kid like so many who would still never go this far.
In any event, here is a very interesting read about a juvenile detention facility in Wisconsin that specializes in the treatment of teen psychopaths.

I don't think anyone visits him. According to his mum the only time she's visited him this year was to hand in his suit in February. Unless other people visit that we're not privy to, but I'm not sure who would. His dad?
I supposed that once he saw he had a clear path he got very excited. Going out again gave him a couple of minutes to compose himself and make a plan to get her out of the flat which was the riskest part of the crime.Yeah but it still doesn’t really make sense does it? What if he went in the flat and rab or someone else woke up, he would need the knife? I wasn’t sure if he meant he saw alesha, decided to dispose of the knife so he could carry her with both hands.
