[Closed] Lawrence Verdict In

Daily Mail now taking credit for the conviction.

Is it not fair to say that front page did pay a part in the whole process?

were there any circumstances that would have allowed the police to search

If the police had investigated properly at the time then i'm sure there would have been enough. There were enough witnesses that brought their alibi's into question.

Jeez even bringing in Acourt for questioning when he ws seen with the bin bag would have given the police the oppurtunity. Potentially caught red handed

I don't want to enter the world of generalisation at all however Anuj Bidve's murder suspects were picked up quite swiftly weren't they? In addition, (again I'm bordering on generalisation) I 'feel' the Greater Manchester Police's response to the riots was more robust and swifter (But then again they had the benefit of 'hindsight' as London happened slightly before)..Scale could have been different(?) however from the press I got the impression that Manchester stepped one step back, regrouped and attacked. Whereas London backed down a whole street...

There is a Police presence at the spot where Anuj died. Sad really that the flowers/tributes have to be guarded 🙁

Hold on Hold on - Yes I mean Arrest.

The basis for arrest didn't change from when they started surveillance 4 days after the attack and when they evntually arrested them 10 days after that.

What are you trying to say? That the the police acted in a timely fashion and didn't given the accused the oppurtunity to get rid of potentially incriminating evidence?
That the police didn't watch the accused walk off with a potential bag of evidence?

the only way they could have got off would have been lack of evidence everyone has known for years they did it

How can everyone know it, if theres no evidence?

Or is it like believing in god, everone knows he exists so therefore must exist?

no evidence doesn't mean they didn't do it.

After 18 years those five are still the only suspects that haven't been written off.
Two of the five have now been convicted.

my posts says lack of evidence not no evidence.

The killers ID has been well known and no one seems to think these fellas are not amongst the guilty. It took 18 years to prove it due to the lack of evidence...meaning that a court would accept - there are still 3 more to go
They never sued the Mail did they
It is not like a religious belief, but dont worry I forgive you for thinking it was 😉

I'm not saying they're inocent, but I'm not entirely sure if I'd been on the jury, based on the evidence the medias told us was shown I could say it was them beyond any doubt.

I'd imagine the jury didn't make their decision based on what's soley been shown in the media.

Suarez claimed (and has bin backed up by various cultural experts and others) that he intended no offence, that his comments have bin taken out of their cultural context

Why was he referring to his race at all? Personally I don't think cultural ignorance is a good enough excuse. He's played in Europe for long enough to know that his comments would be offensive.
