huntley & carr

I always thought only previous convictions were read out after a verdict, not allegations; [no matter how relevant] is this a new idea. I think he's as guilty as hell, so don't get the wrong idea. Also if only for the families, classmates of the girls, people of Soham & those who worked on the case; I think the media & TV specials ought to be wound down. Isn't it strange all the experts have appeared 'I knew he was guilty by his body language etc '' are now appearing.

The allegations weren't read out in Court - and in any case would have made no difference to Huntley's life sentences. They were brought to light by the BBC and other media,

Some of his previous alleged crimes were a matter of public record having been published in a local paper in Grimsby, where they are both originally from, so there was no problem in getting this info...The only reason the Beeb and others didn't splash the info about sooner was publishing restrictions so as not to bias any jurors.

Actually I watched the beeb's programme last night and must say that everyone expressed the opposite opinion to you, in that Carr at least, was a hugely convincing liar up to the point they presented her with the forensic evidence.

I'm pleased that they had fair trials.

My response has just been zapped!?! Am I been vetted or something?
