He took someone's life but doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in
prison. Michael Adebolajo, one of the two British men who butchered
English soldier, Lee Rugby last year, today launched an appeal against
his sentence. Adebolajo was sentenced to life in prison in February 2014
without the possibility of parole, while his accomplice, Michael
Adebowale was given life with a minimum term of 45 years.
While handing out the sentence, the judge said Michael was condemned to life
imprisonment without any minimum years because he led the attack on the
soldier and "had no prospects of rehabilitation".
Adebolajo and Adebowale
killed the father of one in broad daylight near Woolwich
Barracks in south east London on May 22nd 2013.
