Hello again readers,
Just been watching the local news and I see Reading Crown Court was in the news again an accused person managed to escape from the dock, two others failed but the other got clean away. He was there on Firearms charges, sadly an Officer was assaulted in the escape process.
I mention this escape as it was during Keran’s trial we heard of another suspect who escaped. It caused a bit of excitement in the boring period when the Prosecution had their paid mercenaries on the stand.
The suspect ran out saying I’m free, I’m free apparently.
Maybe we should have done that with Keran! Just got her to run out.
The other sad news was that a young lad, whose story I remember as it really touched me at the time, he was a young army cadet, who happened to pick up a torch left in his army barracks, the torch was bobby trapped, it blew his hand off, caused him hearing problems and removed the sight from his only one good eye.
He has recently been told the compensation will only cover the loss of his one good eye, the fact he can’t see now at all doesn’t count! Maybe the IRA will help out? They set the bomb? Well, CIRA…
Maybe as part of the Peace process they can help this young man who doesn’t seem to complain about his lot and gets on. As I have said before there are heroes all around us. But like the soldiers of old (and not so old) who have to sell their medals to support themselves. Maybe our land needs to stand up and take a bloody good look at its self.
Gunmen can flee our courts, young men can be maimed by terrorists and we don’t do anything to help them. Yet as I type now Sports Relief is back on showing we can make a difference, but why just one day a year?
Finally on Kerans case I see that the CCTV footage of a young child being shaken by someone, obviously a horrible offence for which they deserve punishment, but what matters to Keran is that there was no symptoms, the Triad was NOT there….hmmm wonder what the experts made of that.
Mind you another horrendous case of awful, truly awful abuse, where the accused admitted to the Police of what they did…which included dropping the child, shaking the child and worse (God bless the little ones in both cases). But even after the abuse over three weeks, all admitted to, there was NO TRIAD OF INJURIES!
It makes me ask, WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE EXPERTS THINKING?
Cake, Eat it and get paid for it too……
Time to tip up their trough me thinks!
We need to wake up and shake up these experts and the system that allows them to get away with it.
