Fionn: Recognise sarcasm when you see it.Regarding the case of the man who was hanged 40 years ago, I presume you mean James Hanratty? I am familiar with that case as I worked in Bedfordshire when the case was on and sad to say, his brother later spent some time in psychiatric care. The Hanratty case was I agree most certainly a miscarriage of justice. It was a case of finding a culprit come hell or highwater. My feelings in the Damilola case is that the prosecution case failed because of its weakness. As mentioned above the distance from the scene was never really investigated. The prosecution's chief witness may or may not have been lying, but as a young teenager stood little chance against skilled defence lawyers. More power to them, their job was to defend their clients but anyone who has been savaged by defence/prosecution lawyers in court will feel a certain amount of sympathy for her. The people I feel sorry for are the parents who now have to live with the fact that their son's death will most probably never be fully solved.
