Mark Lundy - miscarriage of justice?

[scott411]

God save us from the jury system ... that's my experience and my honest opinion ... take a look who are "always available" for jury service!

agreed, i dont think i would ever want to put my life in the hands of people that have 3 weeks available to sit on a jury,

So how the hell are any of us to decide Lundy's guilt or innocence? .

points against Mark Lundy: apparent bad actor. blu blockers. bit of a ham planet.

points for him: great legal team; real "reasonable doubt"; maybe he didn't do it.

I would've thought we'd be poss better off with 12 jurors that actually understand the legal system, not just Joe Blogg's plucked from the street.

Yeah ... but you get 12 Joe Bloggs plucked from the street - you actually get the people who can't find a reason to get out of it, the unemployed/beneficiaries/superannuitants and the ones who want to send people to jail ...

I was making the moooooooves! I wish it was a shirt. I'd be owning one. Mind you, not difficult to get one custom printed up nowadays!

Very true except the last bit. There is a real concern among those who study such things (jurisprudence) that modern juries are no longer representative of society because as you say, those who serve tend not to be full time workers.

However from a defence point of view this is all good - these are also the people who are likely to acquit.

If not Lundy, were the alternative suspects given enough attention by the Police?

The 'Lundy Three Hundy' is to take place on November 30. Seven teams have signed up for the car ''race'' which leaves from the former Lundy Karamea cres address, then on to Petone and back.

Can't be done in the time alleged. Not saying he didn't do it but the time needs scrutiny.

police have moved the goalpost back or forward
