Grief

Someone that wasn't very truthful was Judge Arlidge,,Jeremys' prosecutor.
He's left his wife for a 25 year old. Wonderful life,,isn't it.? Do as I say,not as I do,must be his motto.

Yeah I read that the other day, he's in his 70's isn't he? I'm not sure I'd have the energy.

I hope he gets persecuted by his wife. Let's then see all his dirty washing. Karma to him.!

His partner is a judge, she may or may not get involved in doing the laundry herself.  I think he's still married to somebody else, just been separated for 30 odd years without divorcing.

It does sound like he knows what he wants though.

Mr Jam, may I respectfully point out that I believe the majority of my posts have followed something another person has posted because I feel it important to give support to those with whom I agree and the last time I looked, there was no "I" in team. There are those here with whom I am naturally more inclined to agree, to the point that I've thought "Damn, I was just about to say that" and that is exactly what I've said in my post.

In all walks of life there are those to be found who have little or nothing to contribute but make their presence felt by insulting, provocative and disruptive behaviour within which ever group they join. How much tolerance would be shown to these types were they members of other groups or societies.

I would like to finish by saying that I think for 99% of the time the Mods do an excellent job under often difficult circumstances and if you're wondering about the other 1%, when I can present myself as perfect, I'll expect it of others.

You can respectfully do what you like, I have no idea what you're talking about though?

How dare he sit and judge others. He was probably jealous of Jeremy at the time.

Was he? Why do you say that?

Hello april  Yes I agree the Mods do an excellent job in very difficult circumstances.  In  life some people are not able to cope with abuse as well as others so what they do they become frivolous putting on an act so as to appear they are not  affected by it but they are. Then in the end you have heard the saying "even a worm will turn" enough is enough as it can become a form of mental bullying. Hope you are enjoying the sun as am I.

Hi Susan! I am loving the sun and I'm just about to celebrate the weekend with my first glass of sauvignon blanc! Your very good health!!!

Because I imagine that if it was 30 years ago,,and Jeremys' trial was  nearly 27 years ago,,,about the time when the judges life was going awry,it would seem,,,so dependent on how the judges' days were going in court,it would have reflected on his home life,or vice-versa.

That's a really good point actually, so do you think Jeremy was inadvertently responsible for Aldridge separating from his wife, therefore giving a reason for Aldridge to force through a guilty verdict in October 1986 by any means necessary?

I agree with you there Mertol. A recent case has made me even more thoroughly disgusted with our justice system. It involved a very well-respected surgeon who was a neighbour of my brother,,,,who tried to chase off 3 youths from messing about outside his property and car which was parked.
The man would have got the usual volley of abuse,so the surgeon lifted his hand as a threat.One of the youths punched the man in the face and he fell,cracking his skull on the pavement,,and sustained such injuries that he died.
The CPS dropped the case.! Because the youth said he punched him in self-defence.!
The doctor was semi-retired and was said to have been a pillar of the community. I'm disgusted.

On the face of it, that sounds ridiculous.  However, without hearing the other side of the story it is impossible to judge.  The newspapers, particularly the tabloids, frequently tend to print stories such as this, where there is often little or no balance.  That's why I gave up reading them.  For instance, what constitutes messing about?  In most instances I would suggest that the person doing the 'chasing' is the aggressor.  In the case you mention here, if the surgeon didn't want to be subjected to the 'usual volley of abuse', why chase after them?

The youth was originally charged with manslaughter on the basis that there was a reasonable suspicion he had committed the offence and there were grounds for believing that the continuing investigation would provide further evidence to support the prosecution.
Since then new evidence has been presented including the final pathologist's report which indicates that the injuries to the victim were consistent with the victim suffering one blow to the face.

All the surgeon did was to hold up his hand to the yob.He didn't even touch him.!
It doesn't alter the fact that the youth punched the surgeon in the face though,to cause him to fall backwards on to the ground.

I know what I saw, Susan. I'm not going to keep bringing it up. Before you got your friends invovled yesterday I already told you via PM i didn't care and that I wasn't going to speak about it. You should have left it at that.

I've forwarded the PM's to NGB where Keira confirms for me that she knew you were Jackie. I will post them here too if I am allowed without getting banned.

Other than that, you can do what you like. I don't care. But I don't know if there was need to bring it up in this topic when I had never posted in here?

The media and tabloids are makings noises about a possible repetition of last years riots which were apparently triggered by mistakes on the part of the constabulary. I believe that powers that be will avoid this at all costs. It comes down to the death(s) of individual(s) weighed against the cost of a repeat of what happened last year. My late partner always said that politically, people are expendable, generally their value is in their ability to vote and pay taxes!!!!!
