A case study.
Case one
Man convicted of Criminal damage, Assault on police and Possession of drugs
Richard Strange, aged 29 of Essex Road, Romford was convicted at Havering Magistrates Court of criminal damage, assaulting a police officer and possession of drugs at Essex Road, Romford.
Strange was sentenced to a 1 year community order for each of the four offences, to run concurrently and a 2 year restraining order.
He was ordered to pay compensation to the victims of the criminal damage and compensation to the police officer he assaulted.
Case Two
Shakin' Stevens guilty of assaulting photographer
The 61-year-old was fined £300 for assault and criminal damage and ordered to pay the photographer £479 to compensate for his damaged camera lens.
Case Three
Dominic Grieve admits to assault and criminal damage. And the penalty in his case? The Tory party makes him the Shadow Justice Secretary? Is this justice?
BBC broadcaster 'admits' killing his terminally-ill partner
Ray Gosling tells viewers he smothered former lover because the man had Aids and was in 'terrible pain'
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire police said Gosling's confession would "have to be looked into".
And the latest news...
Gosling was arrested this morning, around 36 hours after he told viewers of the BBC's east Midlands Inside Out programme that he had used a pillow to suffocate an unidentified young man who he claimed was dying in hospital.
"We have arrested a 70-year-old man this morning on suspicion of murder following comments on the BBC's Inside Out programme on Monday," said a spokesman. Further statements are expected later in the day.
Dominic Grieve made his confessions to having committed both assault and criminal damage in the film The Fear Factory to be premiered in London on 1 March 2010.
There is no statute of limitations therefore no time limit for a prosecution. Justice has been delayed in this case. If the police do not look into this case, it will be a case of justice denied.
(This post was originally posted at 4:08pm on 19/2/10. Then this happened. Yesterday I was informed that Dominic Grieve has pulled out of the Q&A Panel. Apparently he gave as his reason something to do with a 3 line whip on Monday. Personally, I believe that either somebody tipped him off deliberately or David Cameron, or a journalist asked a question too many and too close to the subject and scared him off).
