The system does not work! This vicious animal was on had asbo's, supervision and refferral orders that you claim are effective at reducing crime and anti social behaviour. If they were effective then Joseph Lappin would still be alive. You and the rest of your cabinet of arrogant sycophants are so full of shit your eyes are brown. You should be on your knees begging the forgiveness of his parents. You created a system that benefits the criminal and marginalises the victim and now we see the results. Well I hope you are proud of yourselves......oh how stupid of me I forgot, it won't be seen as a failure until something like this happens to a relative of a cabinet member. If it happens to one of us lesser mortals then it is just a 'tragic occurence' and 'lessons will be learned'.
The lessons have been learned Gordon, but by the voters you have so much contempt for.
A teenager who fatally stabbed an Army cadet through the heart had an Asbo for terrorising his neighbours, a court heard.
Joseph Lappin, 16, was stabbed to death outside an Everton youth club in October 2008.
His killer, 17-year-old James Moore, of Silvester Street, Everton, was one of a gang of 10 who attacked him. They were armed with batons, sticks and bottles.
They are due to be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court later.
Moore, who admitted murder two weeks ago, had been given an anti-social behaviour order in 2007 but had "repeatedly" breached it.
Neil Flewitt QC, prosecuting, told the court Moore's reign of terror saw him smash car windows with golf balls and abuse people in the street.
Moore also breached referral orders and supervision orders designed to punish him and rein him in, Mr Flewitt said.
He will be sentenced for murder along with the other nine defendants who have previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.
