In his interview after his court case for rape and sexual assault he replied " I really thought they had got me."

Just sounds a bit odd to make such a statement.

Bloody 'ell!

I think your "bloody 'ell" comment will pass moderation muster in here.

Lancashire police HAVE confirmed that they have spoken to each of the new complainants.

My concern at this stage is that a detective, acting as a spokesperson in regard to this case, is reported to have said: " There is no investigation, and there won't be one."

Mind if I merge this with the other roach thread hs?

I hope your popcorn image doesn't mean that you treat CSA as a 'side-show'.

Can I apologise for starting a new thread regarding Bill Roache.

I am still finding my way round the forum.

Please feel free to merge my posting into this thread.

Thank you

I also spotted in the reported interview that he said, "I thought I was going to prison on 2 counts"

Bill Roache is also alleging that the judge was biased and "he mauled me"

Wether i treat it as a side show or not is none of your business .

I think this is going to be interesting , i'm just waiting on the pitchforks being produced

The man was only admonished last week , innocent , or proven to be not guilty , but lets just try and grind his gears some more

The trial judge in this case is Mr Justice Holroyde

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Holroyde

---

Louise Blackwell QC submitted to the judge that the jury should be discharged in the fourth week of the trial and shortly before they were due to begin considering verdicts - because the judge himself had been biased in his final summing-up.

Trial judge Mr Justice Holroyde, a high court judge, was not even at the halfway point of summing up all the evidence at the time the defence application to discharge the jury was submitted.

He had summed up most of the evidence for the prosecution - but as yet had not started summing up the evidence for the defence.

The judge said whether Miss Blackwell felt his summing up was still "unbalanced'' when he had also covered the defence case as well would be a "matter for her professional judgment.''

Giving his response, Mr Justice Holroyde said: "The application is made on the basis of her submission that in the course of summing up I have descended into advocacy, supportive of the prosecution case to the detriment of the defence case.

I don't carry a pitchfork. Never have done and never will do. I am more concerned that a detective confirms that witness statements have been taken from other alleged victims and " There is no investigation, and there won't be one."

I have seen you post on other threads in an equally abrasive manner.

I have always said i'm abrasive , bit like sandpaper and I'm sure there will be many here that will confirm this

Bill Roache has just been found not guilty , it has been a bit of a circus tbh

maybe you could send the jury some letters to get them to change their mind to what maybe you think justice should be

do you have a set of scales at home by chance

I have a set of scales I use for weighing my cooking ingredients. Would they be any good?

However, I will challenge Lancashire Police

My concern at this stage is that a detective, acting as a spokesperson in regard to this case, is reported to have said: " There is no investigation, and there won't be one."

Don't you think that maybe they have looked , and it's not worth persuing ?

Have you ever read the papers and thought , hmmmmmmmm a little sensationalist hmmmmm ?

the scales of justice eh , used for baking scones every thursday

Dont worry about it, it's not a problem

I'll merge the two.

I bake lovely scones - usually at a weekend.

I have no problem with the police investigating and the CPS not pursuing having applied the 'likelihood of a conviction based on the evidence and the 'in public interest' test . My problem is when a detective says: " There is no investigation, and there won't be one."

I am proud to say that I wrote to The Attorney General (and encouraged others to do so) to get Stuart Hall's prison sentence doubled:

Stuart Hall has additional outstanding cases:

Graham Ovenden walked away from court with a suspended sentence. He appealed the conviction. I am glad to say that the Appeal Court rejected his appeal and agreed that his sentence was also 'too lenient'. He is now in prison.

I am not judge nor jury, but I have taught myself how to understand the 'system'.

Now do you like mixed peel in your fruit scones?

How are we pronouncing scone?

Not the way I just heard you say it my head we aint
