He'll be out by June.  |
I know we need to have a robust and fair system but what amazes me is that is takes so many appearances in court for a conclusion. It seems that even when the evidence is overwhelming with independant witnesses and cctv evidence there is no guarantee of a conviction.
One of the local **** here is up in court again today, the last time was for a string of crimes including driving off without paying and robbing a shop and he got community service. I have heard a 'rumour' via text this morning that he may not be in court because he was arrested last night for questioning about a serious robbery.
The justice system is a complete joke, it must be one of the most long winded and unjust processes around.
I bet he doesn't go to prison.
