Christchurch biker wrongly convicted of rape gets $350,000 compensation

[Metastable]

Most cops do a great job and it really is a bad few that spoil it for the others....and yes I agree, training in this sort of thing would be a huge help.

As for riding up here. There are some nutcases that ride year round.... snow and all. As far as decent riding weather.... 12C and up... you're stuck with Aprilish to Octoberish.... so ya about 1/2 the year with reasonable temps. I got my early year fix with a February trackday in Florida. Although I must admit... when I was younger and dumber I did ride in temps below 0 and on fully snow covered roads on a sport bike.... sometimes you just don't want to admit riding season is over.

I hope scissorhands would allow for one critical fault in the Hindu system in that whilst everyone has there place their place is decided by their birth rather than their ablities. If you were born to an untouchable you are an untouchable, a lot like the colonially despised British class system.
Poor Mr Farmer was screwed as soon as he was picked up because he would not have displayed the "appropriate" and "usual" responses.
Aspergian types are nice people with frustrating habits.
I think the only thing I like about Shortland Steet is the actress protraying the Asperius surgeon.

What I meant was lepers fucking, and breeding.

I'm not into the right of kings carry on either.

Are you saying the cops got it right, and Farmer walked (eventually) on a technicality?
Or can you just not admit that the Farce isn't god?

If it's aimed at me? - (I hope not)
No
and
Never claimed anybody was God...let alone the Farce (Is that a branch of KB??)

Yeah - your post seemed to be suggesting that there was more to this case than a CIB-type pulling a swift one to get a conviction.

...let alone the Farce (Is that a branch of KB??)

There seems to be two types of Police organistion in this country...well, three maybe
1. Police Force
2. The Farce
3. Traffic

Who did do it?

Do you refer to the rape or the wrongful conviction?

Rape they suspect we will never know in one report I read so an injustice for Mr Farmer and the rape victim. Imagine her position! she had convinced herself or been convinced, that the rapist had been caught and was being punished and now its like another attack, legal system screwed up and is putting some of the blame on her cause they used a dodgey system to get her to id the Farmer as the attacker.

Wrongful conviction, all you will see is a lot of finger pointing an self justification even to the point of screwing the rape victim over to hide their culpability (see above).

Chances are the bloke what done it has left the country...
Rapists tend not to stop at just the one, and with his DNA now in the system, and samples taken from all charged with any serious crime, it is only a matter of time before he is sprung. IF he is still here.
