@taniwharugby That sports rep article is fucking irresponsible for several reasons. As others have said, compromising the suppression order and giving ammunition to the defence lawyer. But also, now people start looking at all the men who are 26 and have repped in sport at a national level. And that fucking sucks. (Besides the fact that his sporting past have no relevance to this case whatsoever.)

@chris-b Police interviewed the owner of my local Dairy several times for the Baird murder. He was a very very strange and disturbing individual.
WE ALL KNEW HE FUCKING DID IT
Or at least were certain enough not to buy loose sweets from his shop

Apparently we all see a little bit of ourselves in Grace.
Um , ok.

My sincere condolences to Grace's family and friends. What a horrible thing to happen to a young woman. May justice be done and may she then rest in peace.
There is something spineless, absurd and slightly sinister about the NZ media not releasing information that is freely available online or has been in almost every UK paper. Free societies depend on the free press to function.

Well no cos it might fuck the case against him completely. They're actually trying to do the right thing.
-
@sparky it is illegal for them to release the information in NZ, so they are complying and that makes them sinister and spineless..??
YOu may have heard of that presumption of innocence until proven guilty?
Think of all the sinister people out there that might do things to his family based on the Newspapers naming and shaming him as guilty.

@mn5 But I suspect thousands of New Zealanders do or have done a Google news search or a Twitter search and have found out.
Let the press report everything, including crimes and alleged crimes freely. Then trust juries to judge cases on the evidence presented to them in court and come to the right decisions.

So spread a name that is suppressed by a court?
Righto. Can't see any issues there....

There was nothing wrong with a Chevette if it was modified a bit. Well a lot. Quite a successful rally car.
Like @jegga I am amazed at how her Dad has taken it. He seems to realise that it only takes one bad night out, or one sicko and this happens. Not the place that it happens - looking at you Cindy.

@mn5 I haven't searched, I dont know his name. I doubt I knew him so will happily sit here thinking he is just a murdering cnut without a name.
I was a bit busy actually getting on with my life and didn't attend any services for her so I guess I'm a bad person.

Room for benefit of the doubt. Not like he had a Rover...
