I hate to be the bearer of bad news to those who think he's going to be "in for it" whilst in there- he won't be.
And quite right, too. Justice by the mob is no better than the depravity to which TB sank.

What it says in s1 of the Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984 is that you can transfer a prisoner where a) the prisoner consents and b) the "relevant Minister" and the "appropriate authority" in the other country agree to the transfer. Personally I'd guess that Tabak's chances of persuading the government to agree to transfer him to the Netherlands to serve his sentence any time soon are somewhat remote.
So, on top of everything else, you think that us taxpayers are going to have to keep him in board and lodging for the next 20 years?
Personally, I'd rather the Dutch paid for their own criminals.
I think he looks exhausted - he was arrested at 6am and presumably hadn't been sleeping brilliantly for the previous month (that part of his testimony I believe - not because of any guilt over Jo, but because he was worried about getting caught).

So would I but I'd hate him to be in any kind of open prison or having a comfortable life. Is there any EU agreement whereby a prisoner serves their time here but their own country pays the bill?
I was thinking more along the lines of what Aneurin enlightened me about at #1033
It's an offence under s63 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 " to be in possession of an extreme pornographic image" such as one that depicts "an act which threatens a person's life".
Well, possession of extreme pornographic images is a crime. The police are obliged to investigate crime when they become aware of it. Presumably they were unable to do so previously for fear of prejudicing the trial that has just concluded.
Yep. I think its fair to say that no-one looks exactly at their most alluring in their mug shots. The police aren't exactly wanting to capture your "best" side.
You should see my passport photo. :noooo:

I think if he'd denied manslaughter, it would have been a different story and the evidence would have been permitted, because it suggests a reason he had his hand round her neck. However, as it stood the fact he had his hand round her neck wasn't contested - the issue at stake was whether he foresaw the consequence of doing so.
This is showing as being written by me in post 1216- it was written by brownbread or cherwell.
Is there something up with the software?
This is what I think when he looks up and first sees her he eyes her around the store then pushes the trolley into her and seems agitated ,exited then goes out of the store. Now he could have been waiting for her to return or was hiding somewhere and followed her home, I think he knew Greg was away because LL told him. Now as that video shows he already had his camera, did he really have plans for taking pictures of the snow. Did he really at that point know what he was going to do that night or was it after seeing her there that his mind went into overdrive. Was it his camera that hit the table and splintered it.
But as has been said, why was this not mentioned as evidence if it is him and the lie of where he was at that time. I think that maybe any unanswered questions will be swept under the carpet now as more serious information is being unearthed. Wonder what opinions Jos parents have about how the case was handled.
My (entirely hypothetical) magnum opus How To Commit Murder And Get Away with It contains much useful advice for the homicidally inclined and contains a number of cardinal rules which must not be broken in any circumstances, including;
- never volunteer information to the murder investigation
- never show any interest in the conduct of the murder investigation
10. WHAT DID TABAK DO WITH THE CLOTHES HE WORE? Forensic experts found no trace of Jo on the clothes police seized.
I think he looks exhausted - he was arrested at 6am and presumably hadn't been sleeping brilliantly for the previous month (that part of his testimony I believe - not because of any guilt over Jo, but because he was worried about getting caught).
I read in the Guardian today that the DNA sent to the USA and Netherlands did not link him to any unsolved crimes.
Yep, let's bill them for the cost of the investigation and trial too.
It could get worse. If he manages to get a spell in a secure psychiatric unit at any point during his stay at HM's pleasure he'll be eligible to receive benefits and an allowance for clothing whilst he's in there too.
