Subject: RE: BS: UK strange legal ways
Considering how many people have been convicted of murder in the past twenty or thirty years and have subsequently been found to have been innocent after all (while the real murderer is still free, remember), it's a good job they don't hang 'em any more. On the whole, I think it's better that the guilty should go free than that the innocent should be locked up. But don't think I've got any sympathy for Brady: I haven't.
