Antonie Dixon (sword murderer) retrial ... the KB link.

[firefighter]

Is there a chance he did not commit the crimes he is accused of??.....

Nope, on the re-trial he wasn't appealing the fact that he commited the crimes.....guilty as charged....no need for any retrial just a confirmed reason to put him down really.

If the jurors had been reading KB and influenced by it they would have asked the Judge to sentence him to a public hanging or a bullet in the head!!!!

The fact that news papers,tv all reported this heinous crime palls into significance to kb you would think.

The media reported the crime but we (and I guess other forums) provided a commentary on what should happen to him. I guess that's the difference.

Is there a chance he did not commit the crimes he is accused of??....if so he should be re trialled immediately. If not?...meh, preventative detention seems appropriate as Mr Dixon's crimes against our community were particularly heinous. To the casual observer it seems we are arguing over semantics and not guilt.

He wants to be found not guilty by reason of insanity. Doesn't want to be in the big house, just the nut house....

According to the Sunday News

So it's not just a product of Dixon's lawyer's imagination.

Some jury members do seem to be astonishingly obtuse about the judge's direction not to do their own research.

Well... put a hand up me bum and call me a puppet...

Surprised that it was allowed to continue.

No worries... show the judge, the lawyers and anyone else in the decision making processes what goes on in pointless drivel, and they will soon realise KB is full of idjits anyhoo...

yep, i know trademe is a hot spot whenever ANY new murders happen. actually, any crimes that are newsworthy, the people involved get hung, drawn, quartered and branded guilty before an arrest has even been made. trademe would be more likely to get in shit with the courts over this than us, due to the number of threads on this topic numbering likely in the hundreds.
