Jo Murder ! What Happens Now?

[EDDIE51]

The man accused of murdering Jo Cox has refused to give his correct name
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36567005
What name would he be charged under? Will they use what they know his real name is?
He is playing the 'insane' policy hoping to spend his life in Broadmoor rather than a jail cell !

You are right anne but the issue arises when thousands all think the same, then that does make a difference.

I agree prudie, but retrocop is in hospital. I hope he's home soon.

we dpnt know Ed
I think he was tipped over the edge

I think the judge enters the details - I cant see a gneeral rule that if you say 'moo-moo' to every question the prosecution goes up the shoot or else everyone would do it

Broadmoor isnt a hotel by the way - and in some cases they throw away the key

if he wont plead
the judge enters a not guilty verdict on his behalf
