Did Brenda Leyland Have the Right to Due Process ?

Her obsession with Madeleine’s parents ? From the Guardian

‘The inquest heard between November 2013 and September 2014, using the Twitter ID @sweepyface, she had tweeted or retweeted 2,210 posts, of which 424 mentioned the McCanns. Her tweets did not constitute a criminal offence, the inquest heard.’

So less than a quarter of her tweets mentioned the McCanns. To date you have chalked up over 13,000 posts, a great many more than a quarter mentioning the McCanns I’d warrant, so it would appear you have a bit of an obsession yourself. Just because your posts are supportive of the McCanns doesn’t make your behaviour any less obsessive.

You've got "mentioned" but also "alluded to" and "referred to".

[Robittybob1]

I knew that Robitty ... but if you used the post I think you may have for reference, I believe the information it contained was wrong.

Personally I have no idea if it was right or wrong but just the short time between the doorstepping and  the suicide is surprising.

[kizzy]

she was doing a lot more than that  imo...she was part of a campaign spreading hatred towards the mccanns .......a word she used herself...up to 50 tweets a day

why wont you accept not everyone like the mccanns -  or what they did.

How is it a campaign.

No one knows yet what happened to maddie

You get the squabbles on here, supporters having a go at sceptics and sceptics having a go at supporters. Some would probably like to represent all the sceptics posts as being anti McCann whereas most of them are just against arguments put forward by supporters. The whole Brenda Leyland and her twitter opponents was similar IMO but a lot more robust.

Last time the subject was discussed the point was raised that Brenda committed suicide on her estranged sons birthday...which is strange...it might suggest a different reason for her suicide

Would it be out by a week or just a day?  How much out was it? 
It shouldn't be hard to see when Brunt doorstepped her and when her death occurred.

Agreed, if my dates were wrong someone please say so.

There was a very short time between both ... but no cite given as yet to substantiate the date when Brenda closed her account.

What might have caused her to do that at just that moment in time do you think?

Or then again it might not.

According to this, she was confronted by Brunt on Wednesday and died on the Saturday

Please note ... a libellous statement cannot be posted even if an imo is added ... it is still libel

[Mr Gray]

Or then again it might not.

it seems a very strange thing to do....commit suicide on your estranged sons birthday.....how can he ever enjoy a birthday again... It seems quite a cruel thing to do

"Sky News offers condolences to family of Brenda Leyland, who was found dead in a Leicester hotel two days after channel broadcast footage of her"

So it is possible they held the footage for a while. 

"On 30 September she was approached by Brunt and a cameraman outside her village home in Burton Overy, Leicestershire, after the journalist was given a dossier containing details of people allegedly posting abusive tweets about Kate and Gerry McCann, whose daughter Madeleine disappeared in Portugal in 2007. Leyland had posted or reposted more than 400 tweets about the McCanns, the inquest heard.

"Leyland was found dead in a hotel room in Leicester on 4 October last year, two days after Brunt’s report aired on Sky."

So the report seems to have been delayed for 2 days before it was aired.

The date in question and the cite required is for the suspension of Brenda Leyland's twitter account.

I’m sure he’ll never forgive those who put his Mum in such a position in the first place.
