In most towns in most countries you can get your 'ead kicked in if you know where to go.
It has been like it for my lifetime I don't espect it to change anytime soon.
This is currently in Winchester Crown Court. Not coppers admittedly but I doubt that matters much if you wind up jed.

You don't expect to be brutally beaten in your own home, Alice, having been targeted as a result of intelligence from a corrupt ex-cop. But yes, the UK has their own "Night Watcher" on the loose right now.

Scary old world innit ?
It's where we live, shit 'appens, learn to live with it and take appropriate action. Learn that it's not just a Portuguese problem........much as some may try to tell us it is.

Don't the UK normally remand the more violent type of criminal in custody? I'd hate to think we'd have allowed PPC to wander free & offer football opinion on Sky Sports.

I'm sure the victims of this gang of thugs are  in the knowledge that the perps are free to carry on robbing until the justice system sorts itself out.

It is recalled that in the process are also accused of the same crimes three agents of the PSP: Elói Fachada, Luís Conceição and Telma Freitas. They were the group's operatives. They entered armed and uniformed.

The list of charges against the members of this gang detail heinous crimes.  Using their positions as law enforcement officers being one of the more chilling aspects of their MO.

I find it informative that there are those who make light of the crimes they are accused of and Cristóvão's role in them.

Did you watch the programme on the Old Bailey tonight?

No, Liverpool were playing. Which programme. please, so I can watch it on Catch-up?

Channel 5.
It skated gently round the fact that Ruth Ellis also hit an innocent bystander when she loosed off at her boyfriend. I believe it was a ricochet rather than a direct hit.
I say "skated gently around" but really to the point of not even mentioning a circumstance which was very significant in its day.

You're not a Liverpool supporter are you? You can't be all bad then....

Jolly good. I hope you are able to use that new found piece of knowledge.

[Brietta]

The saga continues with Misty's post to the forum today ... http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=6218.msg467929#msg467929  in my opinion, this one is going to run and run.  We might as well keep all the information together therefore it would be good if Misty could re-post to this thread.

I've got to admit I thought Cristovao was going to wriggle out of this one ... it seems the Portuguese judiciary intend otherwise.

Here it is, Brietta. There is rather a lot going on at FC Sporting right now as well, where PPC was formerly VP.
