A life sentence for Hoogstraten could see him free in seven years to carry on persecuting and victimising anyone who stands in his way and adding to his ill-gotten gains.
I fear, even in prison, he will still get at the people who dared to stand up to him.
He will make his money do his dirty work for him so it should be confiscated and put to work keeping scum like him away from ordinary, decent people.
He should not be allowed to have the normal things in life he so despises - freedom, compassion and respect.
