It'll save jurors sitting through a stream of self serving lies at least.

I'm surprised he's lived this long but live in hope.

[emmie]

hopefully they will find him guilty and sentence him to life in prison..

[Bobbisox1]

I hope they extradite him back to where he came from and let them deal with him

[emmie]

wasn't he born here??

[Bobbisox1]

I thought he lived in Syria,or somewhere like that, I’ll check, thanks em x

[emmie]

i did read the piece but can't find the info....

[Bobbisox1]

Yes born and raised in Manchester the son of Libyan parents who fled their own country to seek refuge here, you’re right Emmie

[emmie]

so no where to deport him too, more the pity...

[bhg481]

Is it appropriate to point out that he hasn't actually been found guilty yet - a panel of people who are being given the full facts are about to make up their minds.

[douglas9401]

Thanks for that, wouldn't want to jump the gun.

[Bobbisox1]

Right o Bhg :0/

[rowanwitch]

It's his right and it may be be does not acknowledge our justice system. He would not ; I suspect, want to be tried under Sharia law either

[naomi24]

^If he were, he'd probably get a medal!

[rowanwitch]

Unlikely as his attack was on mostly women and children.

Defence lawyers are entitled to advise their client not to stand in their own defense. I've no issue about that. I'm confident that the case will proceed fairly without it.

//The siblings allegedly used a network of unsuspecting family and friends in the Libyan community to buy ingredients for the explosive.//

Mmmm.

[emmie]

doesn't seem feasible does it...........

[bhg481]

emmie - are you referring to Spicerack's post? When I was a teenager I used to get my dad to sign a note for me to buy saltpetre at the local chemist's so that I could make gunpowder for fireworks (I told him it was for my chemistry set); he hadn't a clue what he was signing for, so I can believe that friends would unwittingly help.

Rowan at 09:30 Wed. Are you serious? Jeepers!

[emmie]

his attack was indiscriminate...
