Why can we not staff our system with people who are not so gullible?

or Maria Coldwell .... yeah yeah I know 3T's hangers on are gonna pile in with one liners " Mary who what-well, who dat den ? "

Good luck Mikey - all cases are fused into one. Judges and juries referred to as "staff" so they can be slagged off ad lib as a corporate body (hem,hem).

PP...with the greatest of respect, sometimes I just can't make head nor toe of what you say.

This man was clearly dangerous, was let out of prison and then went on to murder his child. And yes, I know he hasn't been convicted yet.

PPs posts are high on the list of things mankind must strive to comprehend one day. Perhaps we will reach that level of enlightenment but for now mikey, join the rest of us in bewilderment.

TTT...I am sure he has a point to make but his obtuse syntax makes for very difficult reading !

here's a local news report from the time of the overturning of his 2007 conviction. whilst there's not too much detail, the reasons for the appeal being allowed are set out.

^^ Thanks very good link
I think that the contention that the Court of Appeal were 'gullible' can be discounted.
'' The court of appeal concluded that there was no rational basis on which a jury on the basis of the medical evidence given, could reject an unknown reason for injuries other than shaking''
''It also found the Judges summing up contained serious misdirection''
So the fault lies with the inadequate medical evidence and a poor summing up by the original Judge, rather than a 'Gullible' Court of appeal.

Ok even if we understand the reasons why, it turned out that they where wrong and the girl died on a technicality

Poor child, another wasted life. I'm with you TTT 100%.

Do you remember the 'Free George Davis/George Davis is innocent' campaign from the 1970's?

He was a known bank robber who was convicted, had his conviction quashed (because he didn't do it) and then went on to commit more bank robberies.

The judiciary have to deal with matters on a case-by-case basis and hindsight is always 20/20.
