Chris Kahui not guilty

[Grahameeboy]

Perhaps. As long as it doesn't become habitual or institutionalised. I know how irritating it can get at times being the brunt of ginga comments, and my beloved riding companion is equally irked at incessant blonde jokes. After the 10th one, the humour pales.

I would have hoped that a parent with a disabled child would have been more tolerant of diversity in our community.

I enjoy the diversity in our community...are you saying I am not....Londoners thrive on micky taking..I guess it is not taking life too seriously.

Sadly in my experience (KB excluded) I find that disability still is not considered by many people as it still seems to be a barrier...my job is to change that.

I guess we are all different...when I was young I was accused of being gay and it never bothered me (and No I wasn't) because as far as I was concerned they had the problem...

WOW This case has given hope to all murderors and wannabe murderors out there.. That they can infact get away with murder

[bull]

Well the jury of peers ahs decided and even with all the media hype they have found him not guilty. Yet still we all think he did it.

And McDuck i totally agree with you, pick out the Dad as he must have done it(surely the loving motehr couldnt have been responsible TUI) whereas if we believe the media hype miss King has alot of explaining to do. Sadly it would seem that noone is made responsible for this murder but i truly believe that the evidence supported the not guilty result.

What i want to know is what compensation doe this man get for 2yrs of remand prison time? if found guilty it would have come off his total sentence but as not guilty now what?

The hint that he hangs around with hunks of shit that dont deserve to live.

Was serious question - you look at a couple of other ex-prisoners whom served time then were aquitted and got big payouts what does this innocent man get for his 2yrs on remand?

Does this show that it is time to bring back the Grand Jury?

What makes you think he is innocent and that he didn't kill his children? There is a huge difference between being found 'not guilty' and being innocent.

He wasn't held in remand for 2 years either, he was given bail.

This whole thing is a travesty. So incredibly sad. Two innocent little lives wiped out by someone.

This family are to be pitied! Seriously pitied! They have no idea of what is decent and morally correct.

The dance they led our increasingly PC police force in the investigation was a joke, the toothless way the police appeared to investigate was pathetic to the public eye. Watching reporting of the trial left the jurors no other option than a not guilty verdict, I did not hear all the eveidence of course, but what was reported made it fairly cut and dried IMO.

Lets not forget two little boys are dead here. Most sadly of all though for me, deep down I am happy that they are not here to be brought up in a family that can behave like this, to continue the gene pool that is this family.

Very sad indeed.

After the last time I served on a jury, I concluded the the "jury as judge of fact" process has passed its use by date.

It is after all a relatively recent invention. We've given it a fair test, but I'm not convinced that it has worked out. The commonwealth might be better served by reverting to the older inquistitorial system.

[riffer]

I tend to agree with you there Ixion. The average person on the street lacks the intellectual capacity or legal knowledge to cope with the slimey tricks that can be pulled by defence teams nowadays, no matter how much Boston Legal they watch.

I note with interest that the two young fellows who pleaded guilty in the Jiha murder case have no applied to have their pleas set aside and go to jury trial.

I wonder if there's any coincidence here? I predict a large amount of new defences based on the he/she did it - no he/she did it defence in order to introduce enough reasonable doubt in the juries mind.

[McDuck]

Both perents need to be held evenly reponcibal. If one dosnt want to go away then they need to PROVE they had nothing to do with it.

Iv been listening to the radio most of the day and the case has come over so many times. I am not really sure how I feel about the verdict. According to a Court of Law .. Chris Kahui is an innocent man. Regardless of any opinion we have.

Two darling babies died a horrific death. They were neglected by the ones who were ment to love them, they have been neglected by a Justice System that is ment to protect them. They have been neglected by a Nation who weeps momentarily.

If anything, this case is a national example of where we are at. Reflecting upon the excessive abuse in this country, the dettachment ... when did we become so violent, selfish & self absorbed? Or has it always been so to a lesser extent but now exposure is purging the consequences therein inherited.

We sit back so easily and point the finger and give energy to the already disintergrating values we have as individuals, as a community and as a nation. But do little to focus energy into positive resolutions.

When is a tragedy not a tragedy? When it happens to someone else but not you right? No. The tragedy is when it passes and is repeated continuously.

We live in an extrodinary age. We have choices. We have the ability to end cycles and initiate new beginnings. Our potential is limitless. So lets use it.

The public are not satisfied with; The Marlbourgh Sounds Case, Clint Rickard taint, Now this . And these are just the recent ones. Goes right back to The Crewe murders.

You forgot the 'oh, was there a body in the back of that car that's been sitting outside the house we've been investigating for the last week? Sorry, didn't have time to open the boot and have a look - too busy'.

I don't particularly want to cop-bash, becuase they do do a very difficult job under dificult circumstances - a job that I couldn't do.

But for fucks sake......

What makes you think he is innocent and that he didn't kill his children? There is a huge difference between being found 'not guilty' and being innocent.

The difference is generally that it takes the jury longer than the time it takes to walk down the corridor to the jury room, turn around and come back again.
