What excuses has he offered? An alibi, like everyone else questioned in the case I imagine? A defence in a trial? Or would you like to be saved from other members exploring any other possibilities in aspects of the case related to him? I don't know BS from a bar of soap. I have followed WT's case from day one through the media. When they 1st splashed BS van passing a police search site on the front page of the paper, and all but calling him the suspect without charging him was the day I went looking for a forum that is seriously discussing this case. I also called the paper registering my anger with the editor, who said they had received many calls sharing the exact same sentiment, that the paper was subverting natural justice for the man. So from my own experience it did not pass with a mere raising of the eye brow, but a real concern for civil rights in this country. MOO
I was thinking about this last night. The question is WHY they chose to publish it. Was his the only vehicle that passed by? If so then that would explain why they published it. If not, then the question has to be asked why they chose him. Nothing happens in the world of jounalism by accident. They have a lot of contacts and inside information, so I suspect they had a very good reason for publishing it. For all we know, it could have even been done at the behest of the police to apply pressure to that 'someone who knows something' who Jubes keeps referring to. Or else it might have been a 'hint' for the public.
As for natural justice, I'm far more concerned about natural justice for an innocent little boy stolen from his grandmother's yard, rather than a dreary old washing machine repairman / handyman. And as for indignation that it was published, that reeks to me of guilt, or suspected guilt, after-all, if he has nothing to hide, why should there be any problem with his photo being in the paper. In fact if I was him and innocent, I'd be glad to help to bring publicity to this shocking crime.
