Thanks Breadvan

The 'He was a loner, in the last chance saloon that couldn't hold down a job' stuff reminds me of the stuff thrown about about Christopher Jefferies.

The Police were searching a river in this case?

If so then could his defence be, "She was alive when i threw her in the river, I didn't kill her?".

good luck with that one!

That wouldn't work. If he intentionally threw her in the river and it was clear to a reasonable man that to do so would kill or grievously harm her, then he can be convicted of murder.

Quite so. Recklessness as to consequences of action can provide the necessary intent, as well as deliberate infliction of harm.

I can only think he is using this tactic to strike a deal. it is a shame there is not a hell for him to burn n.

[anonymous-user]

We don't yet have full scale plea bargaining as seen on US cops 'n' court shows, but in any event there doesn't seem to be much room here for a deal. The defendant might try for manslaughter, perhaps alleging diminished responsibility, but the prosecution may have little incentive to accept a plea to that offence. We are speculating, as not much more info will be made public before the trial.

As long as he goes to prison, his fellow patrons will hopefully make him very welcome - as they did with Huntely.

Can we have a trial first, people?

[XCP]

That's just a boring technicality around here!

Ok, fair enough, I am all in favour of respecting rural customs. Which tree do you want to use?

[XCP]

No no no. Bit of gratuitous man love first.

Tsk, how silly of me to overlook the rustic tabloid reader's propensity for enforced sodomistical pleasurings.

A tree's too good for perverts like this!

Oh yes Vlad, he had the right idea.

No need for a trial, I think you are guilty so I am going to stick a big spike up you jacksy and watch you wriggle for a few days.

Cool:

Lets not get in the way of a good old trial by media here.

Don't forget, two wrongs do make a right
