One more thing,
Off topic but kind of relevant.
Regarding defamation and social networks
To anyone who may have followed the Kupunda trial (Mrs G) before the suspect was publicly announced social networks were outrightly naming this person. A few people started panicking and saying that they were going to cause problems in the trial blah blah blah. Media had first shown the murderer placing a floral tribute and then removed all footage. Many had commented then that there is nothing that can be done, social media has taken over. (I am trying to make a point but proving difficult) That poor poor son found out via media about his family. I just feel that what we write on the internet is what we write, we are not stating a fact that Gerard killed his wife. Who cares what I have to say. If I go out and shout it to everyone is anyone really going to take notice? Are they then going to go home and say he's guilty just because I said so??? Doubt it.
Yes,innocent people are being caught up in this but unfortunately people are curious about the association that others have with the suspect/s. I don't know how I would go in a jury because I read the news and make MY OWN assumptions.
Sorry, hope this is making sense to some?
Oh and it took Jason Downie 12 months to finally enter his plea. 12 months!!!!! Horrible guy. He was the only suspect too. Gerard seems kind of ok compared to him.
