Because of his state of mind you don't know what to make of it.

Yes - protect the perpetrator. Yet he was allowed to turn and smile, he should have been battered for that alone!
I know. It’s barbaric. Genie is right in saying he is inhumane. How she gets up every morning and continues i’ll never know. It would eat away at me to the point I wouldn’t be able to live. She’s so strong and an inspiration for a woman so young. I truly admire her.
Or added another 20 years!

The barriers are there to protect the public too! Maybe without them he would have had something more harmful than a smile planned.
Well I was going to say that but would he care? I was thinking about him saying would the DNA testing ‘hurt’, so maybe he is a pussy in some ways.
Very true although as @TaylorCallum said yesterday he was handcuffed to a female guard so not much harm he could do. I think it’s more to protect him.
Agree, poor woman can’t get a minutes peace. She’s said she wouldn’t be here now if not for her daughter and I believe her. Only 23 and a life sentence of misery and heartbreak. I think I’d slowly go mad. I do think she’ll achieve something positive out of her tragedy. I can see her following in Sara Payne’s footsteps and putting Aleshas name and story forward to help others . We’ve certainly not seen the last of this lady.

Even his protection is also protection of the public. If someone attacked him they would then be forced to arrest that person, and frankly who needs that?
Yup. It’s own personal perception tbh I wouldn’t care if I was arrested for lashing out at someone who had done what he did to my daughter I tell you that. But everyone is different.
Agreed. She will go far and keep Alesha’s memory going. As you say her daughter will keep her going, I am so glad they have eachother.
I feel the same. I switched off from live stream yesterday, I was sobbing like a baby, actually felt a tug in my chest and I didn’t even know her ! When the crying started , I did see a flicker of emotion from Lord Matthews, I think even he struggled to continue and didn’t quite know what to do. I saw a few deep breaths .

I wouldn't either, but I wouldn't want Alesha's mum to be arrested so its best the temptation to do something arrestable is removed from her. He'll get his, she doesn't need to get herself into trouble over him.
Yeah I hope so.
It’s as if he paused to allow the crying out of respect aswell, that really got me going.
Yes he did. I think he was lost for a few moments.
Oh I know, I’m sure there was a case in America whereby the father of a victim flew for the accused and he was let off on sympathetic grounds.
I wouldn’t watch that again if someone paid me.
