Justice ?

[oompah]

A left-luggage ticket, found tucked into a prayer book, led police to a locker at Manchester Central station. Inside were two suitcases filled with pornographic and sadistic paraphernalia. In amongst these were nine semi-pornographic photographs of Lesley Ann Downey, showing her, naked, bound and gagged, in a variety of poses in Myra Hindley's bedroom. A tape recording was also found. The voice of a girl could be heard screaming, crying, and begging for her life. Two other voices, one male and one female, could be heard threatening the child. Police were able to identify the adult voices as belonging to Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, but they needed Ann Downey's assistance to identify the child's voice. She listened in horror to her daughter at the last moments of her life.

Even with damning evidence mounted against them, Brady and Hindley denied murdering Lesley Ann

A Couple of innocents who should have been hanged.

Getting back to the trial by jury theme, my job involved me in numerous appearances in civil cases as a witness for the company.
We were able to obtain the services of a barristers to present our cases, and more than once I was told by barristers that one of the most important factors was how the judge felt on that particular day., irrespective of the strength of our case.
We won cases which I know we should have lost and vica versa.
If the defendent was presenting his own case and gave the impression he or she was honest, and some were definately not, more often than not the judge would find in his favour, rather than believe the people in suits from the big company.
I even had one barrister tell me that he lost a case because the defendant had a limp and walked with a stick similar to the judge.
If I ever have the misfortune to find myself in court I know who I would like to determine my innocent or guilt, and it certainly would not be by some old f **t who lives in cloud cuckoo land.

They weren't innocent - they were convicted for their crimes.

Some people think that death is too good for them, but on a practical note, if, after conviction, they'd been hanged, then some parents would never have got to learn of their offspring's final resting place.

Hanging should have came later.
First off would have been torture until they gave the parents the locations of where their children were buried.

So JUSTICE as been served by revealing some 30yrs later the whereabouts of their victims bodies and yet Brady still holds back the location of at least one other.Perhaps if they hanged one first the other snivelling b*****d would haved sqeelled pretty quick.

I suppose you could torment him with your quick wit and incisive sarcasm.
