I am Innocent

[Murray]

Watched it last night on TV1 at 8.30 - fascinating how a councillor can make dad liable for kiddie fondling when it was the stepfather. Sentenced to 7 years I think and finally released with life and parents life ruined (both died within 6 weeks of each other after he finally got compensated). Stepfather gets done and 18 months prison - seems unfair.

Anyway next Wednesday 01 April 8.30 channel 1 "in 2006 a 16 year old got into a horrific car accident with a police officer, and he was found guilty of careless driving causing injury and was ordered to pay $18,000 reparations" but was all as it seems - well worth a watch on how NZ's finest go about business

i watched that surly if the father got 6 years the stepfather should have got at least that

Should have been some sort of sanctions against the counsellor as well. She was able to bring these allegations against the father, ignoring what the son said about the stepfather, father goes to prison, meanwhile the son is still being abused, and what does she get? Total name suppresion on the case so its not even possible to find out who she was or if she's still "counselling" some other poor bastards kids.

Yeah and when the kids turned round to say "it wasnt dad" She goes to the police and tells them this is typical symptons. Poor bastard and family - life ruined and as you say little said about the councillor apart from they got it wrong

Watched that too - probably one of the same counselors that put Peter Ellis in the jug and ruined his life!

Astounded by the sentence comparison of the father and the actual guilty step father - what planet are these judges from? FFS!

It looks like it might be the case in Central Otago (Alexandra) where a cop threw the proverbial u-turn in front of a car, then lied through his teeth to get the teenager driver blamed.

The IPCA report is on t'internet and worth a read.

It is unfair. But not uncommon to trade shorter sentences for no trial. Not wanting to put the boys through a second trial would be a strong motivator. Especially when it would be so easy for a defence team to challenge the accuracy and validity of any statements from the boys.

I don't recall any discussion of a trial for the stepfather, only conviction.

The scary part is this type of shit with the councillors is quite common.

Watch the first episode On Demand thats a bloody tragedy as well.

I mentioned it here earlier in the Lundy thread

Jeepers I just watched that program "I am innocent" what a fucken fuck up that case was, and still is.
According to the TV they where actually told who really did it?

Then there's Mark Lundy that seems to have been cocked up from start to finish

Then theres the David Bain thing.

Then they fuckup their image over this 1k-4k tolerance thing.

I never ride with any alcohol, but this 1/2 ing of the drink limit is targeting the wrong people that's another cock up.

Then there's the big apology over the Roast busters thing today?

I aint no Police basher but the whole thing is a bloody mess isn't it??
Bloody sad the Police have made so many serious cocks ups they can make a whole TV series on them.

Would have started a new thread but this is KB?? Just sayin

HA! Law ≠ justice.

Justice is far harsher on those that plead not guilty.

I was not present a friend relayed that a lawyer has told them that if they are smart they will plead guilty. Do the slap on the wrist 6 months suspended sentence. Better than the > 2 years the police will push for of it goes to trial.

Fortunately for them the real offender (not know to them or me) pleaded to that and other robbery charges when they were caught doing another robbery.

More so given that the cops were handed the actual offenders on a platter & refused to pursue them, this after they directed the eye witnesses to the scape goats constantly threatening them with prosecution for choosing the real offenders as to force a false conviction... I knew this was a miscarriage of justice, but after seeing this show now I'm questioning what they were covering up

[JimO]

well that was interisting
