I WAS disconcerted after I heard Kevin O’Sullivan on Speak Radio celebrating the primary televised court docket case within the UK, the sentencing on the Previous Bailey of 25-year-old Ben Oliver to life imprisonment for the manslaughter of his grandfather. Like Dominique Samuels, who agreed with him, O’Sullivan seems to assume this theatre will likely be useful to the British public.
Do you agree?
Personally, I couldn’t be extra towards it. What if the individual accused is harmless of the crimes they’re being accused of? Not solely will they’ve their private particulars broadcast to one and all however they must reside with the stigma of the accusations that put them there to start with.
This isn’t the theatre and although mob rule is making a comeback, we’re not rounding up witches and burning them on the stake. What good may come from having a baying mob shouting at a display?
All the general public must know is whether or not the individual accused is responsible or harmless and whether or not they’re a hazard to the general public or not. We don’t want to listen to the very non-public particulars of everybody concerned splashed throughout our screens and radios and sensationalised. We’re not American. We’ve lived to date with out court docket TV and I don’t see why it’s wanted now.
Be at liberty to debate this or anything in your thoughts.
