No. The 38 years is a minimum so he'll be let out at 67 at the earliest. But it's likely that if they do release him it will be when he's around 80 when he's got loads of health issues and just about to die. And that's if he's lucky.

Is he going to have the term halved for parole? He's only 29, he might be out before he's 50 if so.
I doubt it considering he did this just 9 days after he was out the last time. Some people can’t be rehabilitated…this might be one of those people.
Plus you only get released on licence with stringent conditions. Released murderers have been recalled to prison for things like missing an appointment with a parole officer, violating a curfew and not residing at a particular property (which means staying over at a friend's or partner's house).No. The 38 years is a minimum so he'll be let out at 67 at the earliest.

When his minimum tariff is up he will have a parole window every 12 months, where the Parole Board will decide whether he can be released. His release would depend on what rehabilitative programmes he has done while in prison, whether his risk to the public has changed and what protective factors he would have when released from prison.Is he going to have the term halved for parole?

‘His refusal to show up in court.’
I assume he is currently in custody? If so, do inmates have the option to choose to not attend a sentencing hearing?

It depends on what's on the licence, generally the community manager decides that based upon how best to manage the person's risk in the community, with input from victims/victims' families (in offences like this) and directions from the Parole Board.Plus you only get released on licence with stringent conditions. Released murderers have been recalled to prison for things like missing an appointment with a parole officer, violating a curfew and not residing at a particular property (which means staying over at a friend's or partner's house).
That being said, life sentences tend to be pretty strict and recalls on these generally go through quite quickly when they need to be recalled.

If they won't leave their cell, there's not a whole lot prison officers can do about that short of getting a tornado squad to remove them, which is a bit disproportionate.‘His refusal to show up in court.’

Gotta wonder what the policy is in our hellscapes of prison.

Thanks guys. Even so, a 67 year old, out on the streets, high or drunk, or whatever he was, again for the first time in 40 years just needs one night to destroy a feck loads of lifes like he did that night.When his minimum tariff is up he will have a parole window every 12 months, where the Parole Board will decide whether he can be released.
