Somebody will stab the fat cunt
That may well happen in the future but dont forget 7 people far smarter than all of us said he didnt do it and that's the end of the story. Oh until we have to compensate him
You mean until he dose it again
Well the law said he never did it in the first place
There’s a big fuckin difference between “he didn’t do it (innocent)” and not-guilty.
No there is big money in the Catholic Church
And which one of those do you think the Supreme Court of appeals ruled on
It (the entire criminal justice system), irrespective of a jury, judge or court of appeal, rules on the standard of proof of beyond reasonable doubt. That’s a very high threshold to prove, particularly for historical sex offences where it is usually the word of one against another. And sadly most of the best evidence never makes it to trial and is ruled out.
No judgement if he's guilty or not from me as I have no idea of the evidence but it makes me wonder how many are behind bars that are innocent. Did read an article about an indigenous fellow charged with murder and sentenced a number of years ago. Spent a few years behind bars before a smart lawyer decided to go back over the evidence and found out that at the time of the murder this fellow was in a drunk tank at a local cop shop. Evidence was withheld because being a bit of a trouble maker the local coppers wanted him out of the picture and decided this was a good way of doing it. Remember him being asked when released if he was going to sue the police. Nope, he just wanted to go back home to his family.
Interesting article. I remember my old man having to work with Raymond Carroll some years back. He was convicted of the murder of a 17 month old toddler back in 1973 later had his conviction overturned on appeal. Further evidence later showed that the case could be reopened but because of the double jeopardy laws at the time he couldn't be retried. The company that that the old man worked for couldn't sack him without a good excuse, so every worker just refused to work alongside him which forced the company to get rid of him. As far as I know he is still walking the streets a free man.
I would also bet there is a chitload of young people not being feed drugs of all types, by low life scum because of lockdown and social isolation ….
Is has not stopped them trying to bring it back over the border into Qld. Some dim whit was caught with a few hundred tablets in a unregistered interstate plate car and without a permit coming across at the Tweed/Qld border
