There is a load of kerfuffle about Gerbil or Gerbo, but she would have won anyway because she had one less Pass.

Ian's family aren't getting precious about this.  We are all mightily proud of him.  Especially his Mum, my only sister.

Isn't it ever.  His Specialist Subject was some unpronounceable phrase in Welsh related to the first Prince of Wales.  My sister lives in Wales so he grew up there, and she can pronounce it, but it rather sailed over my head.

I shall have to catch up with it on You Tube.  I just happened to read about it this morning on The Mail on Line.

Excellent.

Your family are rightly proud.

I read that one of the finalists, I believe  he came fourth has since died.
The final was shown on the day of his funeral but his family wanted the show to be televised.

Yes, my sister was a bit sad about that.

You don't need to watch miscarriages of justice in other countries,the Birmingham six is of the same,torture.


For 16 years every other aspect of the case was disregarded; that the men were, in Paddy Hill's words, "tortured and framed" on arrest, beaten, subjected to mock executions, threatened with being thrown from a high building or a car on the motorway, and burnt with cigarettes; that their torturers were the infamous West Midlands serious crime squad, or that the scientist called to Heysham was the incompetent Dr Skuse. They were failed by everyone. Cut and visibly bruised when they were taken from the police station to the magistrates' court, the solicitors who saw them first succeeded in getting legal aid forms signed, but failed to log their injuries.
https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2011/mar/12/gareth-peirce-birmingham-six
So you can see why answering police questions in custody is a very foolish thing to do, especially if you’re innocent, and why torturing suspects does not get to the truth.

For those who missed this earlier...

As another weekend approaches can I ask everyone to please follow the forum rules. The hard pressed moderators do an excellent job in keeping things moving so do consider them next time you feel you need to have a go at someone. 

Let's try and set a new record this weekend by drastically cutting the number of moderated posts. As an incentive, the prize for the member whose has the most posts moderated/deleted over Saturday and Sunday will be a two day ban.

Happy posting!
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.

Mr Grime and his dogs.

The dog handler, Martin Grime, was hired by the FBI to come to America and help establish a cadaver dog program.  He brought his two dogs, Morse the cadaver dog, and Keela the blood detection dog, to the Castillo home 17 days after the body was located. Morse alerted to the basement bathroom where the body was found, and also to the foot of her bed in the master bedroom.

In a statement to the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office following the appeal, Grimes said prosecutors’ “support for our search philosophy and strategy ensured that all relevant forensic intelligence was secured and helped solve the case. It is that sort of forward thinking and acceptance of science and support of research that makes your team a cut above the rest.”

What was the point of bringing Morse 17 days after the body had already been found?

to help build up the scenario, where had the body been prior to where it was found.
