ECCOnoob Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 11 hours ago, Daven said: And a little ironic that the current 'useless police' thread has has several posts since I posted the one above which has had no replies. Speaks volumes I would say. Why does it?? What exactly is the debate you are expecting a endless thread of replies to. You post a link to a well known news development regarding the arrest and comment its good news. Im sure many agree so - Yes it is. Full stop. What more do you want. The other thread you appear to be upset about is an active debate with very clear contrary positions creating even more debate. This specitfic thread isnt. Where's the problem?

Hadron Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I've had dealings with the travellers around Reading a few decades ago and they were very threatening then. I believe in a free society but not a lawless one. RIP PC Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butlers Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I believe it's the correct result In theory you can get a life sentence for a manslaughter verdict. In these loathesome individuals case there are plenty of aggravating circumstances, so they will soon regret appearing so happy with the outcome. As has been reported there are believed to be evidence of attempted witness intimidation, the police hopefully will gathering evidence on that and see those behind it in the dock too. RIP ,PC Harper.

I’ve just read something by a home affairs correspondent. He says there are only two possible routes for a retrial and I don’t think this case meets the criteria.

The court heard all the evidence and concluded that there was no intent to kill the officer. Whilst I have every sympathy with the dead officer's wife and family, I hope their petition doesn't lead to a retrial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmiss Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 From what I’ve read the grounds for retrial of a jury verdict are quite specific- either intimidation of witnesses or jury member and/or new evidence. Whilst there are rumours circulating re the former nothing had yet been proven so let’s hope the judge imposes appropriate sentences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
