No, I wasn't suggesting anything except that I don't think she would be posting this if she's just killed her son.

I think whatever happened, happened the day after, on the 15th

Your making an assumption SHE POSTED IT....anyone could have posted it who knew her log in.....or did it for her................................

Only one person, as far as it seems at this point, reports having seen him recently. That was a 17 year old girl living opposite the flat. She has been interviewed twice by police and believes she saw him on Monday.

No-one else in the area remembers seeing him for some time.

The BBC  reported that police is asking for witnesses who saw either Mikaeel or his mum between Monday and Wednesday.

Not sure if it's him or not, now that you mention it.

Yes, many of the comments are foul. The usual knee-jerk lynchmob reaction of people who don't seem to be able to step back and wait for facts.

How will jury members actually be selected?


Jury Selection.

A group of about 30 or more potential jurors are selected randomly and instructed to turn up at Court for jury service.  As you know fifteen jurors are required for a trial in Scotland.   At the start of the trial everyone including the defendant, defence counsel, the prosecutor and the judge are gathered in Court.  The court clerk who sits just below the judge puts the names (written on little pieces of paper) of all the jurors in  a container and then proceeds to draw out and announce names one at a time.  When a name is called that person comes forward and takes their seat in the jury box.  This continues until all 15 places are filled. Jurors who have knowledge of the defendant or his family or who are unable to sit through an extended trial for any reason or who feel compromised are excused.  At the end the jury is asked to select a spokesperson or foreman, this in many cases ends up being juror number 15.  When the process is concluded the remaining potential jurors are excused.  The judge then welcomes the jury members and swears them in.  The trial can then commence.

Jury members are told not to discuss the case outside the court and not to read any media reports relating to the proceedings.

A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.
Indeed, the truth never changes with the passage of time.

The room left to chance in this selection is appalling.

This set-up is not dissimilar to the English system, where lots or cards bearing potential jurors' names are shuffled and selected.

The main difference is the number of people on the jury, with the controversial 15 person jury in Scotland.

That's exactly what justice in Scotland amounts to Anne...a lottery!

The lottery aspect can't be totally evacuated(what if the president learnt his wife has a lover in the morning of the hearing ? What if the prosecutor has stomach pain ?)but it should be reduced as much as possible through a package of measures.
Professional jurors aren't a solution as well. And it's a good principle that the people are represented.
That makes a very interesting debate for sure.

Guantanamo bay is such an inspiration I agree  to all forward thinking democracies

held without charges or trial indefinitely and kept like animals



As is police! In "civilised countries"  just shooting at will at people with no evidence, or just beating innocent passers by in some demonstration and killing them,  as is the rendition scandal! Etc etc etc

and as IF bullying even if not physical of suspects by police dont go on.......psychological bullying is as destructive to an innocent person

Are you really giving the US justice system the big thumbs up when coerced plea bargaining is such a big factor there? >@@(*&)

It probably increasingly is here too.

I watched many a law and order and was shocked!

The US has a very harsh system.....
but some so totally guilty feckers evade justice nonetheless.....

Probably money isn't as big a factor here (I hope that's not naive - I know legal aid rules are being changed). But we know money definitely rules in the US.

So I'd say whichever country where you can be well represented with being a millionaire ?>)()<
