Re: Jo Cox MP has been murdered in West Yorkshire
 
I would imagine usual random pick of the public and anyone stating political or ideological leanings is dismissed but been many years since i was in a court so might be totally wrong Papa.

Left or right is irrelevant unless they have extreme views. They should however be broadly representative. Murder is murder if proved. Up to the judge/defence/prosecution to challenge if they're not happy with any juror.

Never understood why 'political' murders are treated any different. N Ireland is a case in point, many, from all sides have escaped justice. However this doesn't look to be political. It looks to be the work of a psycopathic nutter (who might or might not be the defendant), who might try and use politics as a reason. Insanity would be a better plea.

Mrs Cox was unable to get up but rolled into the road. "The man went towards both of us because we were quite close together at that stage. He was making motions towards us with the knife and Jo was lying in the road. She shouted to us: 'Get away. Get away from him you two. Let him hurt me. Don't let him hurt you two.'"

Her and the man who tried to intervene contrast so starkly with the murderer.

They're not offering a defense despite pleading not guilty...

An extreme rightwing terrorist has been found guilty of the murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox after a seven-day Old Bailey trial in which he made no effort to defend himself.
What a coward he is.

There is only one penalty which l think is suitable for people like this but alas that is never going to happen.

Mr Justice Wilkie refused a request from Mair for an opportunity to address the court, saying he had already plenty of chances to explain himself, and had not done so.

Cox, the judge told Mair, was not only a “passionate, open-hearted, inclusive and generous” person, but a true patriot. He, on the other hand “affected patriotism” and admired the Nazis
Good on the judge. Mair refused to offer a defense or speak to the police and he suddenly wants to address the court after the verdict. He's right that Mair only faked patriotism.

I suspect that Mair only wanted to spout his right wing filth ,the judge did right in not allowing him a platform for his garbage

Yeah he was hoping to grandstand. Some small satisfaction to be gained in taking that away from him, hopefully no paper gives him such a platform either.

Whole-life term. Good. Can't see it ever being safe to let him out.

He was writing the name of people in the public gallery that he recognised on a notepad for some reason, probably not a good one.

No, he operated alone. Terrorists don't have to belong to a group to perform terrorist acts.

Yup.

Why would any of them have to? His motives were obviously of the extreme right, judging by his bookshelf.
