[Bazile]

So , they have got one , at last

[viv38]

Gosh !

[scooping]

Thanks for the alert. If he committed the offences then it's great and I hope he will receive appropriate punishment. If he did not then I would feel sorry about the verdicts.

Bazile

They also got Stuart Hall.

[mushroom25]

do you not trust the integrity of the british judicial system scooping?

[Bazile]

sp - yes , but he held his hands up , didn't he - if i recall

[viv38]

Stuart Hall admitted his guilt though.

[hc4361]

But Hall wouldn't have admitted his guilt if the CPS hadn't 'got him'.

[anneasquith]

I would have been surprised if he was found not guilty !( im not sure why I always felt he was guilty )

[viv38]

What do you mean, Clifford hasn't admitted guilt and they got him too !

[chrissa1]

He has just come out of court and said, he has been told by his lawyers to say nothing. That's what he did. He is posing for photos but is not saying a word.

[ladybirder]

He'll be sentenced Friday morning. Wonder what he'll get.

[scooping]

No, Mushroom25.
Sometimes it gets it right and sometimes it gets it wrong.
It might be a good system, certainly better than others, and I would rather be tried here than Iran, North Korea or Israel, but it can't be perfect. And it isn't.

[jno]

the Guardian are calling him a paedophile, which I think is OTT if his youngest victim was 15

[berniecuddles]

wonder who will sell he's story?

[jno]

they'll need a good agent, bernie, someone like, err...

[sir.prize]

Worth remembering that Stuart Hall was not arrested and tried and convicted in connection with Operation Yewtree.

[berniecuddles]

lol@jno

[youngmafbog]

No doubt there will be an appeal.

It clearly was not a majority verdict given the Judges comments/instructions the other day.

Never liked the man personally and this has not surprised me one iota.

[berniecuddles]

@ youngmafbog agree cant stand him!
