The Lawrence Trial

There have been many excellent posts on the Lawrence trial, especially the unease felt by many at the way which events seem have been 'stage managed' by the authorities and their lap dogs in the media.
For those who want a well detailed written opinion of this unease I recommend the following author www.annaraccoon.com where the possible failings in societal perception and the flawed justice system are impressively documented. Having said that I must admit that I think the two thugs are probably guilty but if I had sat on that jury I would have been unable to give a guilty verdict on both the evidence thus reported and the pre-trial leaks by police and media that proclaimed guilt before the accused even entered the court.
The media circus that surrounded the verdicts and the  host of righteous bandwagon jumpers leave a very nasty taste in the mouth where the dignity of justice is concerned. We have of course seen this before in cases such as the Bulger killing and the Soham murders, both cases which brought an unwelcome change in both law and society.
Do read the linked article as it covers questions that many of might not think to ask in the face of  today's media outpourings.
