//However, others disagreed and said her opinion might be different if she had sat through the court case//

Just as on AB we can comment all we like but we don't hear all the evidence.

[Old_Geezer]

One assumes stabbing the friend was accidental. But attempting to rob the seller is still a crime. One trusts the same applies to all.

[Spicerack]

How does the MP know that Boy A is white? If he is, should she be broadcasting the fact.
Sigh, Lefty will never allow a tragedy go to waste.

[agchristie]

Who knows the composition and backgrounds of the jury?

[Spicerack]

Ban Drill music. They may have been normal, pleasant lads before listening to that foul racket.

[youngmafbog]

So she knows better than the jury of 12 that sat through the evidence then?

[naomi24]

I think she's speaking out of turn here.

[New Judge]

There aqre only limited grounds for an appeal against such a conviction. I think simply disagreeing with the verdict on the unfounded basis that the jury were biased is not among them and I should imagine Ms Powell knows that full well.

// But Miss Powell faced criticism from solicitor Alex Preston ‘It’s really unwise to use this case as some sort of example of very real issues to do with race and criminal justice when you didn’t hear any of the evidence,’ he said. //

Yep.

o god what have you dont now AOG, you silly old thing - throwing your fag into the gutter instead of the litter bin which has on the side, "for what would be litter if it werent placed in this bin"
Nothing like accuracy on AB - huh ?

Youssef's mum can say what she likes
The back story is tragic enough - MGS - Manchester Grammar School takes the very brightest from 3.5 m hopefuls and learns them good.
Yousseff and three chums took knives into the school - you know like one does when you attend the best school in the area

and the result was disaster .....

yeah but no but.... AB is renowned for outspoken prose, surprise, lateral thinking, - the unusual, the brilliant ( baldric and 3t there), and the contentious, innit ?
