For those unfamiliar (like me) some context.

fuck that's a dark story

Fuck, the guy they've arrested is 40, so he would have been only 14 or 15 in 1985.

Would that have any implications on the sort of sentence he would get if tried and found guilty?

Wonder if evidence-manufacturing techniques have improved in the last 20 years?

Hasn't this man now been released?

OK, bailed until May.

Ned Trifle II, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 18:35 (fifteen years ago)

so he would have been only 14 or 15 in 1985.

Actually they arrested (and charged) three kids at the time but the prosecution of them collapsed due to, erm, improper interview techniques.

Well, there was not much news coverage last night.

I guess it's now an ongoing situation.
