Retired Cop Killer Arrested

[retrocop]

I wonder if Piers Morgan will call this killer's attorney 'a disgrace' for representing him when he faces a Murder 1 charge.Would he wish to deny this killer due process as well the Police Officer on a Murder 2 charge?

Let's just hope they did it gently.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm sure we'll find out, I only ever hear what he says when it's posted on here.

I bet Morgan didn't call his lawyer a disgrace when he got him off a phone hacking charge yet he seems to think justice is served by rationing legal representation to his favoured hobby horse. An ignorant and rude useless media presenter. No wonder the Americans kicked him out. I hope the Americans have enough sense to accept we are not all like him. :-(

[Spicerack]

Got James Corden now. God, they must hate us.

Mr Morgan has a strong belief in the power of the rant.

Tabloid telly, that's all. Now over to Andi and some tatty competition.

Murder 1 will be very hard to make it stick - it has to be proved that there was a deliberate intent to kill him - Murder 2 covers more in the heat of the moment, still tricky would be my thinking....well Murder 3, definitely that.

as we know form Prince Andy - these 'trials' are conducted in public, in the Land of the Free
In dear old blighty we have "advice to Editors" which are pretty strict - once someone is charged, comment is limited to statements like "there was a court hearing" - and rules on contempt of court.

Of course someone has a right to a defence
nonetheless the extent of discourse and permissible areas are much wider in America and Piers Moron knows that

I think the attorney was expecting some sort of soft powder puff insisting "I say this is TOO much...." and got a shock.

See Randy Andy's counsel who havent even mentioned the fifth amendment = whilst madarm from LA was shrieking (*) that Prince Andrew hgas to come and tell us the truth and damn the consequences for him

sozza - this is a very long comment about Law and may not be understood by everyone

(*) o lardy dah the interview about Prince Andy was like a scene played out in AB

[Peter Pedant]

Murder 3 which we call gross negligence manslaughter would be more likely
there is no clear intent to injure which clears all murder charges so we are left with manslaughter

is death foreseeable if you kneel on someones neck - yes
is it reckless to continue if people are saying he is dying - yes

so that at least will get up and run ( in English law)

a jury wont convict - and I think the Minnesota movement - Time to start again - is probably the way forward

trump is not showing well so far

[Peter Pedant]

I must say I thought ( in dear old blighty ) that killing in defence of property was a defence under charges to the Offences against property act 1861 as amended
and it all depended on the facts
there was a case about it a few years ago - clearly a bit extreme etc etc

I just cant bring myself ( fainting violet day for me to day) to wade froo all the aggression and emotion to discern the facts of the case

did any one see the billy bunter from the Police Fed
saying - - "rioting - foo ! dat not a safe envirnoment to police - they shoulda stayed at home - the police that is!"
and then it was back to his plate of cream buns

So Piers Morgan thinks that legal representation should be excluded from a person charged with with murder? The man is a moron.

[bednobs]

can you retire from cop killing?

[bhg481]

bednobs - there was a thread the other day about hyphens. This is a classic example of how "retired-cop killer" differs from "retired cop-killer".

[bednobs]

gotcha - I can't access links so had to infer from the q

[dannyk13]

Or a comma after the word cop.

[bhg481]

Yes, danny, just as effective.

[TheWholeTruth]

"So Piers Morgan thinks that legal representation should be excluded from a person charged with with murder? The man is a moron"

hence Piers Moron...as hes known to a lot of people.
Hes like that other piece of garbage Jeremy Kyle, he knows exactly what hes doing and how to get his audience hooked...but like JK he will eventually overstep the mark and they will get rid of him, and he knows it....he wont care though hes wealthy

[Ken4155]

"Why didn't anyone else intervene?" Er, because the cops wouldn't let them anywhere near. And at least two bystanders, were quite vocally intervening. To no avail.

Who was that fanboy ?

[bednobs]

I think you probably mean "great admiration for Mr Morgan (when he agrees with my views)"

[andy-hughes]

Piers Morgan knows two things very well -

One is the right of every accused individual in a democracy, to have a fair trial which includes adequate legal representation.

The other is -

How to say stupid things on television that chime with a vast, ignorant and easily pumped up viewing audience, and increase ratings for his show.

He is perfectly willing to ignore his knowledge and approval of one in order to assist the other.
