    Blardy hell, haven't you figured this out yet?

    Think about it - there's a little box in the corner of your lounge room, and every time you turn it on your emotional state goes through the roof and your self esteem goes through the floor.

    It's not rocket science!

    "read what Steve says. He's right."
    "What Steve said pretty much summed it up."
    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    Unfortunately in NZ, the only chance of this happening is if the central heating thermostat in his cell malfunctions.

    Yes it's very unpleasant watching Weatherston. Do we need to see this? We have open courts and an open democracy and have the right to know about the sick individuals among us.

    There is research which shows humans are hard-wired for bad news. The reason is that this is how we learn to avoid danger. Unfortunately our primal drives get over-fed in the information age resulting in the belief that society is disintegrating.

    In reality the bad stuff is isolated, most people are good, and life is safe.

    The other point that such reporting makes is our judges do not - never have - live in ivory towers. Judges see more of the sad and seamy side of life than the average citizen ever dreams. Daily.

    You're right. Maybe I should have said 'hang'.



    Personally I think there's a damn good chance of exactly that happening when his fragile ego gets locked up.

    They just seem to be feeding rope coil after rope coil but is it to eventually have him dismissed as insane, it gets more and more evident with every news cast!

    Whatever, he admits he killed her and is trying to blame her for the outcome!

    Manslaughter my arse, he's nothing more than a self opinionated murdering show pony!

    If he gets away with this there has got to be a public outcry against the justice system in NZ.

    Do we need this crap on TV?

    NO but you "can" turn it off, it's not compulsory viewing! Freedom of choice!

What I did catch was that he made a comment about how (with his own show) it is most often NOT in any way useful to dredge over the gory details of a crime and said he thought that Wetherston was a narcissist whom we are readily supplying a lovely platform upon which he can perform and further inflate his own ego.

    I agree - he does seem to be enjoying his trial...lock that evil nasty little man up with horny bubba I say - the sooner they get him off the tv and locked up behind bars where he clearly belongs the better.

    BTW - I do turn it off...though the constant ghoulish updates are pretty farken annoying and difficult to avoid - specially when you are at home in bed sick watching the damn tv

    I purposely watched the TV1 news on this subject as a result of reading this thread.

    I think that Wetherston is using the stand to just keep on thrusting the knife and mutilating the girls body and personal image with every word he utters!

    He should be taken off the stand and made to sit down and shut up!

    Manslaughter? Never! He has not got one once of remorse for what he did to her.

    One of the best advertisements for corporal punishment that I have seen in years,and there have been some good ones lately!

    Hanging would be too good for him! (IMHO)

    PS: Get well soon Number one!

    He's a narcicst. Nothing more. And unfortunately, he's having his say. I reckon though it's a whole heap better than if he had just shut up in the corner like Bain did - it gives the jury a chance to see just how manipulative and self-absorbed he is. I bet the prosecutor lay awake at night dreaming of fun ways how bad he could make him look.

    Couldn't agree more!

    If we all make complaints to the BSA about this, maybe we can silence him.


    He does make Vietch look tame in comparison.

    I agree with everything you said in your post except this part. Keep him on the stand, let him talk, because the more he talks the deeper the hole he digs for himself. No one will ever listen to that smug idiot who almost seems proud of himself and let him get away with the charges he is facing.

    His defense will soon see (if they don’t already) that putting him on the stand was a mistake. But that’s a good thing – he should fry for what he has done, so let him dig that hole deeper and deeper.

    But what's the maximum he could get? Preventitive detention? 18 years...out in 12? I'm hoping the former.

    I get what you say 100%, and he should hang for this - however to get back to what Ms Piggy asked - the up side of all this coverage - is even if he is out in 12 years, his life will never the same - this entire country knows what an absolute fucker he is, and hopefully he gets the beats every week from random strangers!
