ianm Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 what do you think the likelyhood of a completion of trial what with all the sensationalist media coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I don't see any reason that the trial wouldn't be completed. There is a huge amount of information that the press hasn't revealed about this case, a lot of it pretty gruesome and shocking. Ever since the bodies were found and Huntley was arrested the media have been very restrained in terms of what they have reported (not that haven't been working slavishly in the background on documentaries for when the trial concludes). You also have to remember that the reason for the saturation coverage last year wasn't just because it was a slow news month, the police were deliberately using the media to try and find the girls.

Cycleracer Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 The media will have no baring on the outcome of this trial. Huntley will be charged on forensic evidence something which no media can change, or alternatively released due to the lack of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickszz Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I've read that Huntley and Carr have changed their names at some point. I'd be interested to know why. It's not the sort of thing that most of us get around to doing, is it? Also, Huntley's past record (if he has one) will be only be revealed if he is found guilty.

Andy Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 What do people think about this? Sky News have a service where you can sign up to get "Text Alerts" of the latest news from the trial. Two questions - why? and is it acceptable for them to make money out of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Yeah, they've only just started wheeling out the forensic evidence, and he's already pretty much admitted they died in his house anyway. Are there any other grounds apart from insanity that means he won't get a murder charge? I can't see self defence being a likely angle, and short of the girls somehow killing each other or committing suicide, which let's face it, isn't very probable, I'm not sure what other defence he can put up. Was it really necessary to release the photos of the remains of their clothes to the press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevan Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Huntley has accused the former caretaker of murdering the two girls and he who had his job, was sacked because of an inapprpriate relationship with a thirteen year old girl at the school. Could it just be possible that the girls were alive when they left Huntleys house and the former caretaker met them and killed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelblade Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Halevan Huntley has admitted that the girls died in his house. I don't see what defense he can come up with. I could sort of believe it if it was just 1 girl that had died but how could 2 girls die as a result of an accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
