Trial Discussion Thread #57 - 14.16.10, Day 46 ~ sentencing~

[christee]

Wait, whaat! Sounded like Barry dropped the F-bomb...surely not.

 

[jay-jay]

So what if this gang leader is issuing threats .. OP probably won't be going to that same prison anyway.

 

[newone]

wa wa --- threat made to OP by someone inside prison indicating that OP's wealth will not buy him comfort

 

[zwiebel]

R: It is not about his case. I'm not interested.....we will deal with newspaper reports as they may be false. I want your opinion...

And Roux goes on to read an article that says Darby called paper and promised 'Pistorius would be taken out'.

Witness insists he had not heard about that.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Roux is setting a trap.

 

[zoran]

This guy has taken over the x examination. Roux losing a bit of control

 

[Lux et Veritas]

HAH! Roux is trying to blitz and bulldoze Modise and Modise will not be moved!!

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Witness is getting very animated and excited

The signs of an honest person, would you believe?

 

[JudgeJudi]

Roux commends the work that has been done. He's just waiting for ZM to agree wholeheartedly and then he'll pounce.

 

[zwiebel]

Roux has asked about monitoring in the community.

M:...we are improving, but at this time we are not where we want to be.

 

[LemonMousse]

I am absolutely certain that if our Home Secretary had to stand up like this and talk about UK prisons he would also be confronted by lots of tales of terrible events - drugs, rape, assaults and so on.

Most high profile offenders have been seriously assaulted in prison - that piece of filth that killed little April Jones is a recent example.

Prisons are populated by...guess who?....bad people. People so bad they have gone to prison. Hardly the shock of the century that bad people might not always treat their fellow inmate with tender concern, is it?

 

[JudgeJudi]

Roux says one of the recommendations is a non-custodial sentence for disabled offenders.

 

[jay-jay]

R:...I really have no doubt you are Bona Fide...you want to do something about our correctional services...intersted to hear you were in Parliament yetserday. How did it go?

M explains, then,

R: I want to read you something in the Star...

I really hope that isn't the UK's 'Star ' :lol: (people in the UK will get that)

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Who's doing all the sighing and whispering into mic? It's a woman, JM? the assessor? :dunno:

 

[JudgeJudi]

ZM says you need to take into account how the person develops inside so that they won't reoffend.

 

[emirates1957]

wa wa --- threat made to OP by someone inside prison indicating that OP's wealth will not buy him comfort

If they are saying that on the inside maybe they need some stats as to what they are saying on the outside.

 

[screecher]

Roux going in for the kill. :aktion1:

As did the killer with Reeva.

 

[zwiebel]

Roux reads from a report that recommends courts should consider giving non-custodial sentences to disabled ppl.

M:...we consider the nature of the crime....also if this person has developed inside. We wld like the opp to take this person inside...ensure there won't be further offending outside...

Judge just corrected Roux's page number.

 

[AlexUK]

wa wa --- threat made to OP by someone inside prison indicating that OP's wealth will not buy him comfort

.....and O P has never ever made threats.... (Breaking someone's legs!)

 

[jay-jay]

So, yeah, he was painting an overly rosy picture

I don't think he did.
