Huntley

[Sticky Blue]

It appears that Huntley was arrested and tried for rape but was aquitted! Part of the reason for getting Carr to help him was because he was 'fitted up' for the rape charge... what is that I can smell... a rat in some bull crap? Guilty until proved innocent, in this case he has admitted that they died in his house, he covered the fact up, destroyed 'evidence', sanitised his house and car... if that isn't guilty I don't know what is!
This might make things clearer: http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,3 ... 65,00.html
There is a link to the day's transcript from the trial. The police have done an amazing job with witness'. The first one today was from British
Gypsum. Have a look at the trial transcript and you'll see the evidence and witness statements.

Aha... More stuff coming out...
How much longer is the trial expected to last, by the way?

[Sticky Blue]

How long is a piece of string Frank? The defence are going to be clutching at straws so will be going into minute detail to try and break the prosecution's case. I think most of these trials are scheduled for 6 weeks but might be mistaken. Lethal injection now and save some money! The previous rape does sway me though, perhaps they should reopen that case as well!

[Spannerman]

Trial is scheduled to last for up to 3 months, I say cut his family jewels off, stitch them in his mouth and then sew the mouth up, mind you I expect Ghengis Khan ought to be called in...............!

Today is the day that the jury of 7 women and 5 men retire to consider their verdict, if I was one of those 5 men and on the evidence given, I would have to find Huntley guilty as charged.

As for Maxine Carr, this is a difficult call, I believe she had been aiding and abetting Huntley in lying to the police and perverting the cause of justice. If she is found not guilty I wonder what freedom will be like for her in the future?

[Sticky Blue]

Spanners... having read the transcript from the trial every day he is as guilty as sin. Carr was either an accessory or guilty of perverting the course of justice.

Huntley's guilt is proven to me in this:
He washed the girls bodies
He burnt the girls bodies
Why? To destroy the evidence of his guilt of what really happend

Send the bastard down, right down into hell with a noose around his neck.

Worse still put him in solitary for life with nothing but CDs of the Royal Marines Band to play. Just joking Sticky, carry on licking your drumsticks, they're not fattening.

As Huntley has pleaded guilty to conspiring to pervert the course of justice (out of spite for Carr l may add) that means in essence she is guilty to as it takes two in law to conspire. If she is guilty of the offence aiding an offender is a similar offence and is covered by her helping to clean the house and car etc. An accurate point l have heard spoken my many l respect is that there is NO evidence or at least direct evidence to say he murdered/unlawfully killed those kids. You and l know he did but a jury have to believe beyond reasonable doubt he did do it and how can they be sure. Of course his actions after the event were thoughs of a guilty man and not to answer a question for three months when interviewed was very intelligent as the first time he talked to the Police he was in possession of all the facts known to the Police and had time to think of an excuse in cahoots with his lawer. The only solice to be taken from all of this is he will at the least be found guilty of manslaughter x 2 plus the perverting which equals a long long time behind bars. The only reason l want to hear guilty is for the benefit of the families who need that to feel justice has been done. No punishment can fit the crime and that must be wrong.

Frank,

The jury is out. It failed to come to a decision yesterday so will return on Monday. This is a bit worrying

B.S.

I know you shouldn't 'judge' a case without hearing all the evidence. But Huntley's statement fixes the deaths in the bathroom. At no time were the girls in his bedroom - but fibres from their Man U. shirts were found in there.

I suspect [hope] that the delay in coming to a verdict is all to do with how far Carr is guilty. We'll see. I can't see it going on for too long.

Sis, what I find disconcerting is the Judge Moses telling the jury he wants a unanimous verdict, I was always under the impression that a majority verdict would suffice, ie of 12 'men' good and true that 7 would be the verdict as to guilty or not guilty. How do others read/interpret this?

[Sisyphus]

Judge Moses telling the jury he wants a unanimous verdict

I thought that if he doesn't get one he can send them back to reconsider. If they, ultimately, aren't unanimous I thought he could then accept the majority verdict.

Where's our Legal Beagle, out there?

that is what will happen.

I got an "F" in Law at school , so you can trust me :p

[chunky from york]

Allthough it is fairly obvious that the b***ard is guilty, the Lawyers (apart from earning a disgusting amount of cash fro the taxpayer) are making sure that every i is dotted and every t is crossed; so their can be no cock ups to be used at an appeal.


Many people do not realise that when hanging was abolished, those cowards in Parliement included a clause THAT THE SUBJECT CAN NEVER BE DISCUSSED AGAIN.

I would not trust a politician as far a crocodile could carry one.

I just want to know how the hell he got the job as school caretaker in the first place with a record like that.

Good to see him get what he deserves, I'm not to sure about Maxine though.
