Jill Dando’s killer is released after a retrial. He’d served eight years in prison for the murder.
The police are “disappointed” by the verdict but “respect” the court’s decision.
:roll: will they bother trying to find the real killer or can’t they be arsed?
It’s a needle in a haystack Stynes. much like finding the real JC pest… know what I mean? :wink:

:-s huh?
My own thoughts on this matter is how could he be found guilty by one jury and innocent by another??
It really doesn’t say much for our judicial system does it? :roll:and thats why im against capital punishment !
point well made rubyred. ive almost always been an advocate of the death sentence [although only in proven without doubt, as in full confession and dna and witness statements. but if this man is innocent he deserves a full apology, although im sure i read that thwe police were thinking of closing the case today. but had the death penalty been in place it would have been too late for this fella.
Which is why “life” in prison should mean just that- you stay there til you die
I would bring back capital punishment tomorrow BUT recognising the arguments against in terms of innocents etc then lock them up for life
Life currently means (normally) 12 years which is both insulting and completely lacking any deterrent
It seems like a long time and deters me.
