Trying to be careful here, Nicholas van Hoogstraten,
remember this prime example of a modern feudal baron, famous paymaster of the tyrant mugabe, last year convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years at Her Majesty's pleasure. Suddenly, following the overturning of his conviction and his appeal for a retrial, Judge Sir Stephen Mitchell, has agreed with Hoogstraaten's attorneys there was no case to answer and so he is freed!
It appears he had no idea that the thugs Robert Knapp and David Croke who attacked and killed Mohammed Raja were going to do so. It beggars belief, that following conviction by judge and jury last year, this obnoxious Nicholas van Hoogstraten, may be able to sue for compensation. Perhaps it's time for judges to provide the compensation rather than the public. Certain judges and people like Nicholas van Hoogstraten it might be suggested, make a farce of the law.
