Fat chance..........

He was innocent. So was BAIN...

[SixPackBack]

The Jury is in. Not Guilty of Manslaughter..... undecided on the other charges, so a retrial on the other charges is likely.

How can that be, SPB....?

He was guilty before his trial..... apparently.

So..... what happened....?

What happened??.... Justice is a by product of westminster style law systems, Rickard's proved that beyond doubt; furthermore every minor traffic charge that is undefended because it costs more for defence than it does for the charge rams the fact home. Our 'justice' system is about control and lining pockets, appeasing public opinion is a by product. The copper [in this case] is still an arse hole regardless of court [or jury] guilt.

SPB probably thought there was...

Of course none of the above will ever benefit any members of the public eh..

As long as it suits the judiciary.

Have to agree with your last line there and what of his workmates who knew what he'd done? Only slightly higher IMHO.

Just caught up with the case on teh tellie......
So a dead shit who steals a phone gets beaten up by a copper, escapes and runs into a street sweeper [and dies later]. The case goes to court, two coppers commit perjury trying to stick up for their dodgy mate. After trial the jury is unable to gain a majority agreeance on guilt/innocence.

What a fucken farce, coppers, crim and jury are all guilty of gross stupidity.......you really have to worry about the justice system when hearing about cases like this.

[scumdog]

So anybody that runs from a cop (or from anybody else for that matter) and gets killed through their own stupid actions is automaticly a manslaughter victim?

Well who'd a thunk it!

Anyway, off on a ride, got better stuff to do than fight trolls today....

After trial the jury is unable to gain a majority agreeance on guilt/innocence.

A lot of guilt there...... even without a trial.

Fixed it up for ya......

So you're advocating a ACC original sized raise in the fines then?

Of course none of the above will ever benefit any members of the public eh..

Must be ONLY for members of the public.... Being a cop is not being a member of the public, apparently.

As long as it suits the judiciary.

Coz the jury has so much to gain from it...... ????????

A lower back? A builders butt crack?

last time i checked the crimes act made no reference to stupidity. if it did most of the members of this forum would have a fucken long rap sheet.

Fair enough!

A system where true justice is the outcome would be desirable, rather than a decision made on how much defending was likely to cost vs how much is the fine.

The jury are not really qualified to comment or make judgement on matters they often do not understand; additionally they are easily swayed.

If you find the members of KB stupid, let me be the first to suggest you leave.

The pom's suffer the same fate as Hazzard County residents. Word from the old country is licence points loss is highly dependant on where you live.


Speeding prosecutions are ‘postcode lottery’

Speeding prosecutions are dished out in a postcode lottery with the chances of getting one varying widely from one region to another, according to a report.
One in eight motorists in North Wales received points on their licence for speeding in 2007 compared to one in 100 in Durham.
For all traffic offences, Northamptonshire led the way in England and Wales with on in six motorists getting points.
Durham was again bottom of the table with a rate of one in 50.
In Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway beat even North Wales, with one in five getting points.
The rate of drivers getting points for using mobile phones also varied, from 1% in Merseyside to one in 500 in Leicestershire.
A spokeswoman for the magazine Auto Express, which obtained the figures, said: “The risk to your licence simple depends on where you live.”

That isn't the whole story. Durham doesn't actively target motorists for their money.
They also don't have a rising road toll. Coincidence?

Totally irrelevant in the eyes of those in charge here.

There are none so blind as those that will not see.

Intransigent belligerence is difficult to overcome! Logic and rationale have no effect.
