Michael Wallace Caught!

[Dafe]

Michael Wallace picked up by Police in Sanson this evening.

I must say, Well done NZ Police for their commitment on this case. I feel so sorry for the German Tourist and her family and friends.
It's nice to know that somehow and in someway, the government has allowed some detectives to carry on investigating this case, be it at the expense of lost traffic fine revenues.
So I guess its time to determine the verdict and then.........

What would you want to see done???

[scumdog]

We are all awaiting with baited breath for the tumultous praises for the Police from WINJA!! :whistle:

[curious george]

Gulity untill provem innocent?
I'm sure he's just helping with their enquiries....

[oldrider]

I have faith in WINJA, he will be discrete but to the point. John.

Although he was caught in a stolen vehicle, I'm sure he didn't know it was stolen.

This is one of those many occassions where the police have done a fabulous job in tracking and finding their suspect. Its now up to the court to decide guilt or innocence. Please, may I be on the Jury? :bash:

i'm with ya on that one.. innocent till proven!!!

Give him 40 years if found guilty.

Better still, put him in a electric chair, save tax payers money.

Death penalty ONLY IF guilty beyond any doubt.......pick me, be happy to pull the trigger and help Darwinism on it's way :niceone:

I see this thread has popped up in many forums. I'm surprised people havnt formed a lynch mob or stoned the chap to death already.. I like the way people here imply guilt so quickly.

Yup, he picked the wrong time to be a wanted man eh!

[Sniper]

He deserves all that he gets double over.

The guy hid out for two weeks, plus he DID steal said 4x4 an then dump it.
Kind of tells you something don't you think.
An we just don't get enough good old fashion lynchin's these days.

Is he related to that other Wallace that got shot by the cops?

Michael Scott Wallace has this afternoon been formally charged with murder of Birgit Bauer, the German hitchhiker. He will appear in the New Plymouth District Court tomorrow.

My heart goes got to her family back in Dresden, Germany. Birgit was buried yesterday. RIP.

The shame is that this guy (if he did it and it seems quite conclusive) has a history as long as your arm and yet he was still in society till he committed the ultimate crime.

[marty]

but he's innocent until proven guilty. i've yet to see any conclusive evidence, it all just seems to be media driven. i expect there will be a large group of maori party supporters at the court house today demanding he gets bail, and that the racist pakeha system has no jurisdiction over him anyway.

maybe he should be tried in germany.

[Beemer]

Anyone who goes under several different names has got to be dodgy in my book. I'm glad he has been picked up - we live in his backyard so to speak, and regularly head up to Himatangi to collect firewood. I feel a bit safer now he's been arrested.

My heart goes out to the family of the victim, and to the victim herself. Tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time - and perhaps being a little too trusting. Unfortunately NZ isn't that 100% safe haven many overseas tourists believe it is.

I'd say the police had some pretty good evidence to charge him - after all, it's not like they had any other strong leads - description of the driver, stolen vehicle, etc. Bet there was some forensic evidence too, you don't commit a crime like that and get away clean.

I'd be happy to see him put to death, it doesn't sound like he was a very productive member of society anyway.

ok - so he's Wallace... who's Grommit again (or is that one of other names?)

[kerryg]

Probably in the minority here, but I reckon civilised communities don't kill criminals. It is the ultimate taboo: to take another human's life. To punish the crime of taking a life by the (legally sanctioned) taking of a life seems pretty illogical to me. If someone in my family (OK, I exclude my ex-wife...oh, and my ex-in-laws) was murdered by someone I would be the first to want to tie the hangman's noose, or pull the trigger or whatever. Fortunately, in this country, justice is administered by those with cooler heads.

[Storm]

The problem being, with all due respect, some of those heads are so cool, they're frozen solid and people commit heinous crimes and get a slap on the hand with a wet bus ticket(compared to the severity of thier crime)

[spudchucka]

Its not the first time thats happened and sadly it won't be the last.

[spudchucka]

Probably in the minority here, but I reckon civilised communities don't kill criminals. Perhaps their lives should become so unpleasant that their best option is to top themselves?

Innocent or Guilty....... his lawyer has applied for a psychiatric assessment as you do these days of it wasn't my fault... I had taken P,i was drunk,i was molested,my dad/mum was bad... etc etc...the social tree huggers will be gathering now to save his soul... :argh:

[Lou Girardin]

Capital punishment has failed to be a deterrent.
Except in one particular case each time it has been applied.

My point exactly :crybaby:

actually, it has been reported that he was a really hard worker, but an angry man with a few lion red sandwiches under his belt.

i still reckon he should be sent to germany for his trial and any punishment

[marty]

maybe THAT would be a deterrent - you get sent to the country of your victim for trial/imprisonment. you'd be hoping you didn't kill a texan/chinese/iraqis/thai/paki!
