    [quote="BeansBeansBeans"]If someone murdered my child, I'd be the same. This is why the victims of crime should've have no say in the judicial process.

    Couldnt agree less. Justice is too important to be left to the judiciary, and the fine members of that profession would like nothing more than to go about their business without having to deal with relatives of victims. Last month here in NI a couple of child murderers were convicted after the victims parents had to force the public prosecution to bring them to trial. PPS would have let them walk.

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I've no problem with families being involved with the choice of whether to go to trial or not tbh.

    Why?

    So she can leave them outside a Butchers shop instead?

    I can only assume he's trolling, and as such won't be biting. :\
