Mark Bridger

What's the latest on the Mark Bridger situation? When is he in court?
I haven't heard anything recently.

"Secondly, we shouldn't advocate giving anyone a drug to make them answer questions."

I see no reason not to in this instance, all and any means should be used to try and find this kid

[pdq1]

If he has done something awful to this child any normal person would have deep regrets afterwards. The fact he cried in court may have something to do with it and felt guilt ridden. A better solution than physical punishment would be to employ a psychologist in a one to one meeting and hope to extract details of the missing child.

If he gave his consent to such a substance being administered, I would have no problem. I do not consider forcing him is correct though - whatever the circumstances. It would still be unhelpful if, whilst under the truth drug, he gave an answer which is palpably incorrect.

The fact that he cried in Court could be explained by the fact that he is innocent.

"he gave an answer which is palpably incorrect. "

as I keep saying, it would be down to the investigating team to decide what if any info he came out with was worth following up or not.

If I was this bloke and was innocent I'd be begging the police to take a polygraph, truth drug etc anything that may help prove my innocence

"The fact that he cried in Court could be explained by the fact that he is innocent. "

you dont believe that to be the case, surely not

[friedgreentomato]

Baz - are you so in to the investigation that you are sure the police have the right man?

[Barmaid]

I am in no position to believe/disbelieve anything since I haven't seen the evidence that will in due course be presented to the jury. I fail to see how someone's tears in Court can show he has a guilty mind - I was just pointing out the obvious other possibility.

However, this is a case that will potentially be tried largely on forensic evidence alone - a bit like Barry Bulsara was.

I wish they'd stop giving it to bazwillrun

[bazwillrun]

well Zeuhl there a simple remedy that even a person of limited intelligence such as yourself will be able to deal with...dont read them then...see how easy that is.

Luckily the majority of posters on here dont post the same self opinionated garbage that you seem to have a habit of doing

[bazwillrun]

"You could always change your alias Baz"

yup, could do that very easily and change my IP addy as well....but I'm not that bothered, as i've said on numerous occasions, this is just a bit of amusement, I really dont take it as seriously as some of the self opinionated "how dare you argue with me" type saddos on here seem to.
