disgusted Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8245760.stm In a statement, Mr Straw said that during the last meeting with the Shields family on 28 August he was told about a visit by two members of the Shields family to the home of another man alleged to be responsible for the crime. He said: "I was told that in the course of the visit that man made an oral confession to the crime in front of several other people. "When looked at alongside all the previously available evidence, (it) has now satisfied me that Mr Shields meets the high test set by the court." Presumably after that compelling evidence, we'll be seeing a fresh arrest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Looks like the man of straw has changed his mind after having a "chat" with his relatives. Good for shields but maybe not for any other person convicted abroad; foreign governments are less likely to let convicts serve their sentences back here if the government let them out again!

observer Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Good point Asp; but in Liverpool, it's not oil, but Labour votes Jack's concerned about - talk about expediency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeway56 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 What was the purpose of Shields' relatives to the house of the subsequent confessor ? No sooner than they had left he withdrew this *confession* Very convenient. Shields is still a convicted attempted murderer, a pardon doesn't alter the verdict of the Bulgarian court. In effect Straw is telling the Bulgarians that their system of justice is worthless despite producing several eye witnesses to the crime they are not to be trusted. It goes to show that if you get enough people shouting loudly and long enough weak politicians like Straw will cave in. Slogans on footballer's T shirts isn't evidence of Shields being not guilty.

Rifles Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 If he was convicted of attempted murder in this country he would have been out 2 years or more ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeway56 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I think you a completely wrong safeway56 Why ? Because you say so ? Shields is innocent because you say so ? There's plenty of evidence which suggests he's guilty...a couple of thousand scousers saying he's innocent doesn't make it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Loo, I didn't realise you were so gullible. BTW, sooner or later you are going to have to accept that some posters, if not the majority, have differing opinions than yours. Whether they or you are correct stop acting like a prat.

LymmParent Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 He served four years. That's about what he'd have got for the offence here, isn't it? So if he did it, he's served his time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I can refer from your answer eagle that this BTW, sooner or later you are going to have to accept that some posters, if not the majority, have differing opinions than yours. Whether they or you are correct stop acting like a prat. and this It isn't my turn. That I am entitled to an opinion and you were just being a prat because you had nothing constructive to say.

LymmParent Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Why does ANYTHING remotely related to football just end up as blokes calling each other names?! If we ban the damn game will we get all the DIY up to date or will you just fight about dominoes instead? Either he did it and he's lucky to get out, or he didn't do it and he's lucky to get out. Only he knows which. Covers it really. Can we talk about painting the spare room now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LymmParent Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ah yes, the other refuge of any bloke asked to be domestically effective - do the job so badly you never get asked again..... Astonishes me that a gender so gifted in working the telly remote and the playstation controllers can be so mysteriously gormless with the four simple buttons on the dishwasher.....
