The murder of Lee Rigby

Gottlieb's address to the jury:

Mr Adebolajo's defending barrister David Gottlieb, told the jury that they "genuinely have a choice" to acquit his client, and that they will be under pressure "from outside, from the mob, from the world, to convict".

Turning to the attempted murder charge, he said it is "possibly the most ridiculous charge ever put before a judge and jury in the history of this country".

Mr Gottlieb told the jury that there were unarmed police near the scene, but Mr Adebolajo chose to wait for armed teams, which would not fit with an intention to kill an officer.

The barrister went on to tell the jury that the issue of what motivated Mr Adebolajo "raises awkward questions" for MPs.

He said: "A person, a human being, can do the most evil act in the world and not actually be evil themselves."

The barrister went on: "All I'm asking on behalf of my client is that you try this case according to the same standards that you would for anybody else."

I wonder if he would stand by his remarks if his son had been the victim in this case?

I am stuck for words at the fact that I have contributed to his bank account!!
It's a funny old game.

He's just doing his job. Calm down, dear.....

He knows his client's guilty and is going to prison for a very long time.

What would you rather he did, rock up and say "Yeah, he's a right twat and I want him to go down too, so I'll balls his defence up and guarantee he gets found guilty".....?

Which would then lead to a mis-trial and we'd have to start all over again....

Do you not think that perhaps he's playing the pantomime villain to piss the jurors off and guarantee a conviction, whilst at the same time being able to say he did his best for his client?

Think about it......

I've always viewed being a barrister as taking the piss and being paid for it! At the same time it severely pisses me off at some of the antics that goes on in the legal profession.
My daughter got knocked down on private land many years ago by a lad on a lawn mower who was about 11/12 years old. I took a private prosecution out against the land owner for allowing a minor to drive this vehicle on his land and during a public event he had took entrance money for.
As it happened my daughter made a full recovery but the amount of bullshit generated by his legal team would have had Whitless green with envy, hence my first line comment.

Anyone remember Stockport Solicitor Anthony Darnell ? He was as bent as a butchers hook and was used by nearly all the criminal fraternity in Stockport and surrounding area. He specialised in claiming legal aid on behalf of his clients and made a lot of money in the process.

When mobile phones first came out he cottoned on to the idea of secreting his mobile phone on his person while having a private consultation with his ' clients'.

As soon as he was alone he would make calls on behalf of his clients to get rid of items of stolen property and drugs etc. He got away with it for quite a long time before the Coppers twigged how all his clients were evading justice. They set him up with a sting and it worked a treat.. Darnell had a weakness and it was greed.

" A SOLICITOR who dealt in drugs including ecstasy tablets with a street value of #200,000, using the code name Rumpole of the Bailey, was jailed for 11 years yesterday.

Tony Darnell, 43, a specialist in criminal law at a firm in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and described in court as a ''calculating, determined and greedy criminal'', had pleaded to two charges of conspiracy to supply drugs. ''It is terrible that a man whose integrity should be beyond question should have sunk to so grave a crime,'' Judge John Laws told Chester Crown Court. ''The fact that he was a solicitor who should have been dedicated to uphold the law rather than undermine it aggravates his guilt.'' Darnell was jailed for 11 years for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and to two and a half years concurrent for conspiracy to supply Class B drugs. Brian Farrell, 49, of Priory Lane, Reddish, near Stockport, said to have been Darnell's runner or ''dog's-body'', was sentenced to eight years in prison and 18 months concurrent on similar charges. He had also pleaded guilty. The judge said Darnell, of Brow Hill Cottage, Glossop, Derbyshire, had a ''cynical and calculating attitude'' during the two months when he was the subject of a police ''sting'' in mid-1996. Darnell, acting duty solicitor at Stockport police station, was called in to deal with an undercover police officer, known as ''Maggie'', who had been ''arrested'' on a supposed drugs charge. He was taken into Maggie's confidence and later met her and her ''friend'', also an undercover police officer called John, at the Copthorne Hotel, Manchester. ''This is a case of entrapment,'' said the judge. ''This caused events to happen which led Darnell to offer ecstasy tablets to them. Darnell received #17,500 for ecstasy and sample amphetamines called 'speedballs'.'' Two further deals followed. In the first, 4895 ecstasy tablets and 500 speedballs were supplied by Darnell, who received #18,250. Mr Charles Garside QC, defending Darnell, who is married with two children, claimed that his client would not have committed the crime if he had not been set up by undercover police".

Well guilty it is. Soldiers of Allah FFS,more like soldiers of the tooth fairy. We now have to keep twenty six stone of pig shit in the manner to which they are accustomed!

They will probably end up in the radical unit at Belmarsh. A complete waste of taxpayers money but at least justice has been seen to be done.

I sincerely hope they suffer whilst in jail. Are kept in solitary for as long as possible, and allowed to mix with the other prisoners for their hour or so freedom each day. if this happens, then I'm sure they will soon realise that Allah will not be there to help them. A nice combination of mental and physical retribution. Mind you, I would have preferred the bastards to have been shot on the streets of London, if nothing more than a lesson for all those other bearded wankers who think they have the right to break the law in any way they feel like.

Yesterday it was a shame that we didn't have the death penalty for the paedophile rock star but today I am glad we don't have the death penalty as I didn't want them scum to become martyrs for their cause!!! They deserve the water treatment torture for at least 8 hours each day whilst they are imprisoned - but I don't want any sane inmate (or insane) to murder the scum as that is what they are wanting!!!!

I'm guessing they'll be someone's bitch by lights out tonight.

You're wrong there Nat - they will be in solitary 'for their own protection' and think about that one for a second and then realise why we are such a soft touch and a magnet for the dregs of the earth. It doesn't matter what they do they'll still be ok.

Let's see if they've got the bottle to go on hunger strike, if they want to die for their cause that much, if they did.


I'd let the cunts nearly die then bring them back and turn them into fucking cabbages for the rest of their lives  

You cabbage racist you

I'm with Magoo, a cabbage has a Higher IQ thans these to twats.  

Okay,  i irrevocably apologise to any cabbages that may be offended.

Still think the cunts got off lightly.

Panorama documentary now on BBC 1. All about missed opportunities. More ' Blame Culture ', the security forces should have done more, etc etc..

If somebody is determined to murder someone then there really is very little that anybody can do. The only people to blame are the scumbags who carried out the attack.

Christmas is coming. Is it worth celebrating?

How any intelligent human being can believe in God in any shape or form leaves me dumbfounded. Are there fairies at the bottom of my garden? Does Bigfoot exist? It's all garbage and I don't give it a second thought. Thank God.

Spot on bonce.

This clip sums the clueless fuckers up superbly for me:

Christopher Hitchens.. sadly missed. He had the uncanny knack of hitting the nail on the head with consistent regularity.
