It seems that we won't have to wait very long before this trial is complete, as the prosecution was making its closing speech today.

TWR - "What will he get? smack on the wrist, be a good boy, & you can play in "Your Gang Your Gang""

I think he will be punished to the proverbial full extent of the law - assuming a guilty verdict.

Watch this space Andy!!

Naomi - "Andy-hughes, I doubt youngmafbog needs a lesson on how the law works. As I read it his comment simply implies his support for harsher sentences."

You are quite right - I think it is reactions like that from me that lead to accusations of pomposity and superiority.

Apologies YMB if that is now my post came across - not intended.

It is my reaction to the occasionally over-emotional responses to criminal activity that we get on here.

My calm rational detached viewpoint, which I try to maintain, is because if I become emotional, it simply causes me to feel a massive sense of futile anger which I do not express because it helps no-one.

I would not wish anyone to think that because of that viewpoint, I am immune to the horrors of child abuse. My reaction as a parent and grand-parent is that, if Mr Gadd is convicted, he should be eviscerated with a rusty spoon!

I agree Mikey - it is a shortish case
and I thought it would " run and run"

and I think you have attracted censorious comments
by commenting on a currently running case

I hadn't reallsed money and the news of the scr+ws had wrecked a previous prosecution

youngmafbog

No problem Andy.

Not long after Glitter was let out of prison for the child pornography found on his Toshiba Laptop in 1997, he promptly went to Cuba and then on to Cambodia, where he continued his habit of raping little girls. He was deported to Vietnam, and guess what happened there...again !

Those that know my opinion on capital punishment, will know that I will never support its return to our judicial system, even for people like Glitter. But if he convicted, here in a British court, I hope he never gets out again, and continues to offend.

PP....I couldn't care a Monkeys if my views and post on this subject are treated as "censorious" This man is a proven danger to young girls and has shown no sign of stopping his offending or admitting and apologising for his actions. But I am sure you knew that.

Peter Pedant

Mikey for the sake of clarity

attracting censorious comments CANNOT mean that your comments are censorious but instead someone else is making them about your comments

I was just saying using rather long words that you seemed to be the subject of undeserved abuse in drawing attention to a current case

The jury isn't out is it ?
I agree the case is proceeding almost at the speed of light

PP...I am indebted to your clarity ! I am used to "undeserved abuse" here on AB, but it bothers me not, and my remarks about Monkeys still stands !

I don't think the Jury has retired yet, as the Judge still has his summing up to do.
