Bordersfox Posted 28 April 2023 Share Posted 28 April 2023 1 hour ago, ClaphamFox said: It's astonishing that Stone was ever convicted. I don’t really have a strong view on Bellfield’s guilt as there is little evidence, as yet, to support it. However I’ve always felt that Stone’s conviction was unsafe. Literally the only evidence against him is a highly improbable cell 'confession' to Damien Daley, himself a convicted murderer as well as a known liar. Daley has apparently been overheard on several occasions saying that he lied about Stone's confession. It's interesting that Stone apparently walks freely in the main wing at Frankland prison - completely unheard of for somebody convicted of child murder. Obviously this doesn't prove anything, but it seems that the rest of the prison population also believes that he didn't do it. One day this case is going to be as notorious as Colin Stagg's wrongful conviction for murdering Rachel Nickell. The recurring theme of all such miscarriages is the intransigence of the justice system. I suppose like most organisations it is systemically designed to protect itself. Whether it's the U.S. or the U.K. it seems once convicted the entire energy of the system itself is directed at making sure that conviction is not overturned. Even where it becomes apparent to most right thinking people that the wrong person has been found guilty. Surely the system, and the appeals system, should be there to make sure the right person is convicted not to protect its own cock ups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Tax in particular I find the relationships between the big 4 and treasuries to be a bit weird. Consulted on changes, but then they work for their clients on ensuring they pay only the required tax, so a clear conflict of interest. In this case there would have been a lot of consultation globally with Big4 and also business on the practicalities - Tax has to be appropriate and able to be calculated in a transparent way so consultation is required. Bit of a vicious circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicsmac Posted 5 May 2023 Share Posted 5 May 2023 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65307770 "Five members of the far-right Proud Boys, including former leader Enrique Tarrio, face decades in prison after being found guilty for their role in the January 6 US Capitol riot. Four were convicted of seditious conspiracy, and all five were found guilty of obstructing official proceedings, alongside other felonies. .The most serious charges carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison." Well, it's a start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
