Brenda Leyland. Coroner's Court reconvenes on 20 March 2015.

[Carew]

Brenda Leyland was targeted IMO solely because she lived close to the McCanns and her location gave the impression that the McCanns were in greater danger than they really were.

A police investigation might well have brought no charges against Ms Leyland.......or even consider her,  or any others in the dossier to have broken the law.

Presumably the police have known her location since early September, too, but apparently weren`t under the impression that the McCanns were in greater danger than they really were.

very true...she acted very hastily..perhaps there were other factors

Precisely but I'm sure Sky News believed it would add a certain excitement to their report.

Precisely but I'm sure Sky News believed it would add a certain excitement to their report.

Oh absolutely Faith.  And I also believe that the dossier gang- MI 666- would get off on causing damage.  They sent the report to NSY,  who in turn sent it to the local bobbies. Why would 'they' send it to NSY  who were investigating NcCanns missing daughter? any ideas?

Hmmmm Well, maybe to show what poor McCanns are having to 'suffer', did they expect Redwood to take half his £10million team off the 'missing persons' investigation to go and investigate Brenda? when NSY gave that the laugh off, 'They' were pouting and needed the WORLD to know, so they took it to media...where, the shy couple who hate the press intrusion, had to endure more publicity...Oh dear!

[Mr Gray]

anyone know if the abuse of the mccanns on twitter has improved or worsened since Brenda's demise

[Miss Taken Identity]

Does anyone care?

You still haven't answered this Davel.

'What if no charges had been brought, as seemed likely ? Would you still believe that what Sky did was justified ?'

[sadie]

Does anyone care?

Of course people will, if they know about it

I certainly care about abusing people like that.  No one wanted her dead, but what was she thinking of?




I guess she was lonely and enjoying the admiration of like minded abusive souls.

I guess she didn't realise that most rational people would turn on her when they found out

And I guess it became too much for her when the "world" turned on her.

Sad but she "set it up" herserlf by being cruel to others.

I agree Sadie and having 'friends'  who had previously encouraged her and patted her on the back - swiftly drop her like a hot potato and accuse her of being an actor etc because she didn't respond to Martin Brunt as they thought she should have -  must have been particularly hurtful.

But ultimately -  it was her own choice to make herself part of a vicious hate campaign.   And that says it all IMO

The stab her in the back brigade must have been the worst, especially if they had 'brown nosed' her before

Very sad

Nigh Night

Brenda was identified as someone who may have broken the law...that's it...I don't understand all the outpouring of sympathy...she is responsible for her own actions

Yes we know.

She was identified by trolls supporting the mccanns.

Not police officers of course, just trolls.

IMO of course.

[Mr Gray]

You still haven't answered this Davel.

'What if no charges had been brought, as seemed likely ? Would you still believe that what Sky did was justified ?'

Absolutely yes...this online harassment and bullying needs to be stopped...not just of the mccanns

[Mr Gray]

Yes we know.

IMO of course.

which trolls were these...making things up again...so who is taking the law into their own hands as you claimed last night

'the "world" turned on her.'  ???

Nah.

Though with irony, finally more people have been made of the mccann trolls in the aftermath of her death.

[stephen25000]

This case has reminded me of a well know novel by J.B.Priestley and the themes of social responsibility vs. the modern phenomenon of 'It ain't me gov....I'll just blame everyone else for what I did wrong'


Priestley got it right.
