Admin phantom Posted March 4, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Try having press helicopters flying over where you work all day. Are you sure it's TV? Two local forces have been doing aerial shots past 48 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The short answer: no. When I worked as a news editor, my strongest edict to staff was "respect the dead and allow the bereaved their private grief".Any chance you can get your old job back Robbo?

Red-Robbo Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Goodness, you must be one of a kind! Like Tomarse, I have experience of a close friend experiencing awful intrusion after a tragedy. It colours my perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I haven't seen the helicopter today, was it up still? If so i dont know why. I know it was up nearly all day yesterday and I could see it out of my window and at times look at the tv screen and see the footage on BBC news.

Aizoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is it me or is it unusual for a body to be removed from a house in a coffin? Particularly unpleasant if one has been to a friend's funeral today, as I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I know one of those currently in custody being questioned for aiding an offender. Really hoping it's a case of 'wrong place, wrong time' and they weren't anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping it's a case of 'wrong place, wrong time' and they weren't anything to do with it. I believe they had until about now to charge or release them. Surprised to see all their names and photos on the a Daily Mail website earlier. I'm hearing the police are being more cagey than usual in this case. Interested parties (and I don't mean the family and friends) are having to get info from the press rather than the police at the moment, very unusual.

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 The police have been given an extra 24 hours to question the 5 people detained. Their pictures and names should never have been publicised at this stage, of course, but sadly this is the world we live in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realised they had been given an additional 24 hours after the one that was due to expire today. And yes I agree until charged or released they should have been granted annomyinity.

And yes I agree until charged or released they should have been granted annomyinity. Exactly. If Mr or Mrs (Ms) X was/were guilty of this heinous crime, then they deserve all they get - bad local/national publicity and all that comes with it (edited to include the appropriate prison sentences!). If, however, it is established tomorrow that Mr/Mrs/Ms X was/were entirely innocent, the baying masses will not let them forget it, but their lives will be ruined - no smoke without fire etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 They really don't want to frack this one up like they did with he Clifton murder... A worse frack up than that was Bijan Ebrihimi, the poor bloke fom Broomhill who got burnt in a wheelie bin a couple of years ago. Several officers/support staff are about to go to court and half a dozen more are suspended and facing discliplinary action over how they handled his case. Apparently security in court today was the highest it has ever been, people in there had never seen anything like it. Lots of areas which are usually accessible to staff were in lock down.

Yes I believe so. Edit; I've just enquired, 1200 exhibits is about average for a murder case, so no story there really. Just papers sensationalising again.

WessexPest Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 How is killing them more expensive? Bullet to the head and done. Failing that, injection. Having them locked up with several guards watching over them and all the stuff that goes with that costs way more. Sorry but there are some situations where I fully support the death penalty. Child murderers for one. A waste of oxygen that has no place on our planet. It's nowhere near that simple -there's an almost endless appeals process. Not that that is the prime consideration; deliberately, pre-meditatedly, killing a defenseless person - irrespective of what that person has done - is murder. That's a reality that advocates of capital punishment can't face up to. The abolition of the death penalty was one of the best things to happen in the UK in the last 60 years, and it's not coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Plus the murder rate in the US is huge, so the death penalty doesn't seem to act as any kind of deterrent. Yep. The murder rate in US states that don't have the death penalty is consistently lower than those that do. So the "effective deterrent" argument fails.
