She was up on manslaughter caused by neglect, but how did the jury find her
not guilty? She was three sheets to the wind, had been smoking dope, AND
opened the door to let the damn dog in which was being spooked by New Year
fireworks outside. The illegal pit-bull dog also had a track record of
biting, too, so was not allowed in the house when children were present. So
how did the jury find her not guilty?
Had they been on the waccy-baccy and vino, too?

'innocent' by virtue of being female?
'innocent' by virtue of being out of her skull?
'innocent' by virtue of being upset?

i tell you, once the emotion cuts in, 'justice' hasn't a chance

meanwhile there is no real constraint on juries to attend to
the case or the 'law'....the jury is sovereign and in fact are
legitimately able to decide any way they want
the jury is the law

That possibly explains why many cases involving agents of the state
are not referred by the CPS for prosecution...they can't control the
outcome. Much better to claim that there's not enough evidence.

[thinks: whatever happened to the NuLab case of selling peerages?]


not enuf evidence m'lud.....

If that's right, the timing was all set up for an announcement
during the summer hol period. Same old same old....

btw, are you sure you don't want your night hood....

are you sure it isn't time for your replacement...

how would you like a sinecure on the committee for
testing the quality of whisky at £300,000 per annum....
but you'll have to attend at least once a year.....
you'll need a jag to go up to scotland regularly and open
first class rail and air tickets....

That sounds like what happened to Prescott!

i'm off to the eussr....
