[peterkro]

Good news at last.

 

[ddraig]

FUCKING YES!

^^^^^ THIS THIS THIS

 

[craigxcraig]

Superb news - heres hoping for a long spell in prison.

 

[Ponyutd]

Maybe they'll get chased down a landing and stabbed....see how they like that.

 

[peterkro]

They'll have to do their time in segregation.

 

[Badgers]

Seems fair

 

[paolo]

Does this have implications for Knight and the Acourt brothers, or would that still need new evidence?

 

[Kidda]

His poor family must have gone through hell yet again, i hope they can find some peace now.

Evidence would be needed.

It would.

At least everyone knows they're murdering cunts though.

 

[story]

They'll appeal though, won't they?

Scotland Yard have just said the case isn't closed and they are hoping the convictions will bring forward further evidence. So sounds as though they're still going to try and get them too.

 

[London_Calling]

Of course.

*hopes*

 

[RoyReed]

So there is some fucking justice in this world after all!

 

[butchersapron]

I wonder if they'll open up about the help they're alleged to have received from certain quarters?

The Guardian have got an interesting story up about the new forensics, and the mega media injunction:

Is it possible that Dobson and/or Norris, having stayed quiet till now in the hope/expectation of a 'not guilty' verdict, could now start squeaking about their associates in the hope of gaining leniency?

 

[ddraig]

let's hope so
no honour among racist scumbag murderers

 

[Mrs Magpie]

The mitigation hearings are going on right now, and it looks as if a statement issued by one of the lawyers is more or less admitting they were present at the crime.

crown court trial requested. Should be a fairly mental trial

Dobson's lawyer has just said in mitigation that his client was not the ringleader. This after his client was taken back to the cells (edit: after the verdict) protesting his innocence.

They've both been banged up for the past year and more, btw - I didn't know that.

Norris's lawyer says in mitigation that his client received a serious beating in Belmarsh.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Gary Dobson's mother, who told the trial her son had been at home during the attack, wept in the public gallery of Court 16.

Will she now get done for perjury?

How does that mitigate his crime, ffs.

A busted nose and four broken ribs apparently.

What a shame.

 

[ddraig]

give him another few years for the fucking cheek!

 

[temper_tantrum]

A busted nose and four broken ribs apparently.

What a shame.

And the teef. Don't forget the teef he apparently lost.

Edit: Let's hope that the odious Rod Liddle now receives the measure of public opprobrium which is his due. The cunt.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

The forensic evidence seems very weak.

 

[DotCommunist]

well, the jury was convinced
