There's so much to comment on with this news story (if true):-

  • The stupidity of the detectives (in using old practices in modern times).
  • The actions of the suspect (calculated despite his so-called vulnerability).
  • The mother - making the usual excuses (ADHD, mental illness and how vulnerable he poor son is).
  • The solicitor - typically making mileage out of the issue.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out.....

Story.

How many time did his mother say he was vulnerable , on the the other hand if he is so vulnerable I hope he is not being fed what to say by those who supposedly have his best "interest" at heart? Also in this day and age he must be going some to get actually banged up!!!

It's never their fault is it?  The offences part, not the other part.......

...........and the solicitor can express his 'outrage' all he likes............I don't buy his indignation............although I guess he might, just might, be the only solicitor in the country who actually sees their client as a person and not just a quantity of cash.............but I doubt it somehow.........cynical old git that I am.

Not a cynical old git ITYO - just a realist.
