The Robin Hood mythology for present day criminals

It was 1969, The Camelot of the swinging 60s London was coming to a close  the Lotus land and marsh mellow sky's of an era’s idealism was now hearing the voice of   Justice Melford Steveson intone without any  compromise in his voice - but then there had never been any compromise by the actions of the twins in the Dock,  or they had  reportedly stabbed a rival so many times his liver fell out. So they flushed it down the toilet and then that shooting in the Blind Beggar, a pub on Whitechapel Road where one of these twins standing in the Dock, Ronnie Kray murdered George Cornell,  an associate of a rival gang, the Richardsons in front of witnesses. Judge Stephenson looked down at this leonine pair and without further cataloguing their mind numbing deeds continued with granite in his voice now that portended to dock  quarry  future for the twins. ‘I am not going to waste words on you,

Society had had enough of you, I am sentencing you both to life imprisonment. Take them down.’  And so the notorious twins,60s celebrities in their own right, were led down to the cells.It would not take long before the were mythologized, in naive sentimentality, ‘...well, they  looked after their own...lot of charity work their own...’  And the Robin Hood mythology continued even amongst the more informed, yes, the were only acting to assuage the ills of their own...and they was good boxers.
