See ? I was right. He was unable to understand it so has to resort to childish emoticons. And then probably ran away screaming like a little girl... or as someone based not too far from him might say like a big girl's blouse.

So to summarise your point put in mind numbingly, endless, tedious detail -

The police tend to favour prosecution of people who they think might be found guilty.

Thanks for that revelation.

Yeah but is it worth spending millions pursuing and prosecuting someone in their late 80`s early 90`s so they can spend 18 months in jail

For the victims. Yes. Hasn't Hall's sentence been increased?

What's age got to do with it? Only if you are very ill or on death's door do you escape a prison sentence.

And how`s the sentence length help the victims. How does it help them "Heal " faster if he spends another 6, 12 or 18 months inside?
The courts are supposed to deal justice not satisfy victims or the publics thirst for revenge. I`m still gunshy about trusting a prosecution service that can go after alleged sex offences from 40 years with no evidence but are stumped when they`ve got a video of a copper murdering Ian Tomlinson

Ok from now on no one goes to prison.

"The courts are supposed to deal justice"
Justice is being served in Hall's case and he can appeal which he won't.

"I`m still gunshy about trusting a prosecution service that can go after alleged sex offences from 40 years with no evidence but are stumped when they've got a video of a copper murdering Ian Tomlinson".

Hall pleaded guilty and the jury didn't find copper who assaulted Tomlinson guilty. Strange but true (unless i'm wrong). What you say about Hall could be said about Saville too. Also about all date rape cases (no evidence). I think you are on much stronger ground if only 1 or 2 women complained about Hall. However we ain't ever gonna agree on Hall.

Well, I agree with frankthring on that one. Prosecuting crimes 40 years after the events is generally deeply problematic. For crimes of the most serious kind, i.e. genocide and murder, one might make an exception - or possibly if the authorities at the time perverted the course of justice, halting prosecutions of people they wanted to protect. I don't think that was the case with Mr Hall, not so sure regarding Jimmy Saville...

In this case this appears all rather vindictive to me.
And these emotive victim statements move the lot dangerously close to Jeremy Kyle territory.
