He should never have been released. 639 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,240 The Director General of the prison service 640 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:29,080 would like me to thank you for your very public vote of confidence 641 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,960 in the reform system. 642 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,960 There's a rapist and killer on the streets thanks to the parole board.

He'll do it again. 659 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,440 He can't even go outside. There are posters of him on every lamp post. 660 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,400 He's been beaten up.

Then we'll know what he's up to. 663 00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:46,320 I've done that, James. Darnell's refused. 664 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,680 He doesn't want to be monitored by the police. 665 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,880 His intention is to be re-housed and try and live a normal life. 666 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,360 He moves, he'll lie low, bide his time and strike again. 667 00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,440 If he stays, he'll be under a great deal of stress, which is what drives him to rape, remember? 668 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,560 You're gonna have to let this go. 669 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,800 His next victim's out there, 670 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,000 and I can't warn her, I can't protect her. 671 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,840 This isn't a vendetta. 672 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,880 All I want is for him to be contained. 673 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,640 Cassie Shaw has written a formal complaint to the DPP, 674 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,880 citing your libellous comments about Darnell and the trial to the press, 675 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,920 and your very public attack on his character. 676 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,520 He's not the victim here.
