[B]A man who shot dead an Indian student in Greater Manchester has told a court: "Lock me up for 65 years."[/B]
Kiaran Stapleton, 21, admits shooting Anuj Bidve in Salford on Boxing Day but denies murder.
When the prosecution asked if he hoped psychiatric reports would prevent him being jailed, he said: "To be honest, I'm not bothered."
He told Manchester Crown Court: "I love prison. I watch Coronation Street. I have got a fat canteen."
"I love prison. Lock me up for 65 years."
[B]'I'm not bothered'[/B]
Looking to the jury from the witness box, he added: "Does this face look bothered?
"I have even got a new rug and bedding coming for my cell. I'm not bothered."[/B]
The court has heard Mr Stapleton walked up to Mr Bidve, 23, and his friends in Ordsall, asked for the time and fired one shot to his victim's head without warning.
Two days after the shooting he had a tear tattoo inked on his face.
Brian Cummings QC, prosecuting, asked him why he got the tattoo and explained he knew it had several meanings, including signifying the wearer had killed someone.
Mr Stapleton said he had told staff at the tattoo shop that he had killed his goldfish but did not want to talk about it further because he might receive "animal cruelty" letters in prison.
[B]'Little audience'[/B]
Mr Cummings asked: "Are you being serious or are you making fun of the proceedings?
Mr Stapleton replied: "No, no, I'm being serious."
The defendant was earlier accused of mocking the court when answering a question about his stay at the Campanile Hotel in Regent Road - near to the crime scene - the day after the shooting.
The jury has seen CCTV footage of Mr Stapleton looking out of the hotel windows.
Mr Cummings asked him why he did this.
Mr Stapleton said: "Seeing if there were any nice women walking past Regent Road... seeing if there were any nice legs."
The prosecutor asked: "Is that true or are you having a laugh in this trial?"
Mr Stapleton replied: "No, that's true."
He denied he had brought along his "little audience" of friends to the tattoo shop in Swinton and was "showing off" to them as they laughed and joked.
"This was all about enjoying your status as a killer, was it not?" said Mr Cummings.
Mr Stapleton said: "No."
[B]'No feelings'[/B]
Defence psychologist Dr Sanya Krljes told the court she found that Stapleton had difficulties in expressing his emotions.
She said he had experienced behavioural problems at school, where he was expelled on a few occasions and had got into fights.
He had explained to her how his mind had gone blank when he became involved in a road rage incident in 2011 and when he threw a bucket of boiling water over a fellow inmate three months ago.
Dr Krljes said he had no idea or insight into what had caused him to shoot dead Mr Bidve.
He felt "nothing" about the shooting, the court was told.

This bothers me.
the prison is gonna love him too
Life sentence please. If he feels great in prison let's not disappoint him.
A man who shot dead an Indian student in Greater Manchester has told a court: "Lock me up for 65 years."
Court: Okay.

Give him 66 just to spite him

People take the word sensationalist too literally.
I can't imagine that this man is well.
It would be a truly sick world if a sane man could be like this.

If it's anything like prison here and this kid isn't moderately buff, he's got at least 30+ years ahead of him of being prison bitch with a high chance of shank.
Gotta be some kinda something to wish that on yourself.

I think 64 would be more spiteful.
put him on a community service program, make him give back to the world he took so much from. somehow i don't think giving this guy everything he wants will rehabilitate him in any way

Wow. You're a dick
[QUOTE=Joazzz;36691583]the prison is gonna love him too[/QUOTE]
Quite sure that doesn't really happen in the UK.
[QUOTE=acds;36691785]Quite sure that doesn't really happen in the UK.[/QUOTE]
Extradite him to the US for being a terrorist :v:

You'd be surprised, it depends if he gets put in an A, B or C level jail
He told Manchester Crown Court: "I love prison. I watch Coronation Street. [B]I have got a fat canteen[/B]."

He loves prison, eh? I don't know about UK prisons, but if someone said that about US prisons then they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. I think this guy's fucked in the head.
People just assume criminals are going to get killed/raped/whatever in prison, and I'm sure frankly, like myself, they have no idea what prison is like. :v:
We got any documentaries on this kind of thing?
Once again, I'd laugh if he became a bitch to some big bloke with the nick name 'Tiny'.

British prisons follow the EU regulations so it's fairly tame.
Honestly he'll probably be fine in prison. He has history of fights and has no problem shooting somebody in the head.

tl;dr UK prisons are neither the cushy holiday resorts that the daily mail seems to think nor guantanamo bay
lets just say hes severely mentally ill and lock him up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life.
death penalty.
he wants prison because prison is actually probably more cushty than his actual house. plus drugs are easier to get hold of.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;36691804]Extradite him to the US for being a terrorist :v:[/QUOTE]
Yeah we'll take care of him.
